Cool Summer Soups
When people think of
Spanish cooking, they think of tapas but especially of gazpacho,
the ever-popular cold soup made with tomatoes, cucumber, sweet
pepper and garlic. Refreshing like all cold soups, gazpacho is a
summer favourite!
Gazpacho is probably the fastest, easiest soup to make. Put all the ingredients in a blender or food processor, pulse a few seconds and it’s ready! For a gourmet presentation, serve it in blanched, cored green peppers on a bed of crushed ice. Now that’s cool!
Cold soups may seem like an odd idea at first, but their frosty flavour is delightfully mouth-tingling. Use the wealth of fresh summer fruit and vegetables to create sensational cool soups. The following are just a few of the combinations possible.
- Carrots, chicken broth, ginger and coriander.
- Cucumber, yogurt, tomato, garlic, chives and mint.
- Mango, yellow pepper, chicken broth and basil.
