| | Here in Seattle, the mercury is approaching 90 degrees, which is pretty unusual for us. Most of us don't have air-conditioning, as our climate is generally a temperate one. So on hotter-than-usual days, we have to cool down using other means: soup, for example. I'm actually not suggesting hot soup, but some yummy chilled soups that can help cool things down. I have a few I'd like to share with you this week, along with some other summer recipes. | | Cucumber Soup Who says soup is only for fall and winter? You can enjoy soup in summer too, especially if it's chilled, like this refreshing cucumber soup.
| Gazpacho This is the perfect soup for a hot summer's day. Gazpacho is a chilled soup featuring ripe tomatoes and a host of other fresh garden vegetables. Serve with some crusty whole grain bread.
| Melon Mango Soup Here's a lovely orange-colored soup of melon and mango, which is sweet and refreshing. Be sure to use the ripest fruit you can, and don't forget to wash the melon and mangoes before you cut into them. Although you don't eat the skin, contaminants can get from the skin into the flesh of the fruit as you cut into it.
| Balsamic Strawberries What could be simpler? All you need is pack of fresh strawberries, a little sugar and some aged balsamic vinegar. Vinegar? Trust me, you won't taste "vinegar," but you will enjoy delicious, sweet strawberries.
