I love soup.
I really love soup.
Really, really, really.
There I said it. And am not at all embarrassed by the fact that hot soup on a hot day is appetizing to me. My grandfather (may he rest in peace) ate it to cool off on a hot day, smack in the middle of the day. Chicken soup, in 95 degree weather, on a Tuesday afternoon…yes! So he ate it, we ate it and we loved it.
But alas I know I am not with the masses on this one.
So summer soups are supposed to be cool and lighter yet filling at the same time (gosh talk about pressure). So here you go a whole slew of chilled summer soups for the lot of you.
My favorite summer soup is cucumber with yogurt, garlic and dill. It’s light and refreshing and easy to make, which is important in the summer when I try to spend as little time in the kitchen as possible.
strawberry, watermelon cantelope- for dessert with mint swirls-yumm!
Lightly spicey tomato, corn gazpacho, but a miso w/ summer squash chunks and ginger luke warm is refreshing and replenishes much needed electrolytes too- enjoy! i am a healthy kosher foodie too!
My favorite summer soup is a traditional gazpacho – but your recipe for cucumber gazpacho sounds WONDERFUL!

I love a nice strawberry soup with a huge salad during the summer.
My favorite summer soups is a traditional gazpacho.
I make a lovely cold spicy tomato soup with avocado.
I love all cold, warm and hot soups but in these dog days of summer I crave a modified gazpacho with roasted corn, black beans and only the freshest of garlic and jalapenos- YUM!
I enjoy a good broccoli cheddar soup in the summer.
I’m a self proclaimed connoisseur when it comes to soups. There is nothing like a chilled soup to combat the brutal summer heat. The soup that stood out for me the most was the cold avocado soup. Minus the radish (which I intentionally left out since I’m not a big fan of radishes), its very creamy, light, and refreshing on the palate and I would highly recommend this recipe to everyone. Please refer to the link below.

I used the leftovers as a condiment over poached salmon on a bed of fettuccine and it worked! Sometimes being daring and creative does pay off 🙂
I need a favorite summer soup. Right now, it’s just a plain fruit soup, compote really.
I adore split pea, anytime and any season.
cold zucchini soup
I make a delicious creamy strawberry made with dry white wine. For fancy occasions I serve it in champagne flutes with a few bejeweled skewers of tiny cubes of kiwi and blueberries and a slice of star fruit for drama. I lay the skewers (they are only a few inches long) across the top of the flute and then sprinkle some pomegranate arils and blueberries on the plate. My family loves my cold cherry soup make with a combo of sweet and sour cherries and a hint of cinnamon.
Chicken noodle soup.
My favorite is Fruit Soup made with sour cherries and red jello for the sweetness. This was my grandmother’s recipe.
Gazpacho or homemade beet borsht
I love gazspacho for a cold summer soup!
My fave summer soup is cream of broccoli with potato soup coming in a close second.
My favorite summer soup is corn chowder with smoked paprika, summery and delicious!
In honor of our Russian daughter-in -law, we grow sorrel for delicious, refreshing, homemade schav.
BTW, she insists that borsch does not end with a “t”
My favorite is old fashioned, ice cold schav with a spoon of sour cream…yum!
My favorite soup is butternut squash. Winter, spring, summer of fall butternut squash soup is great.
I make a really good cream of mushroom soup that my kids gobble up. Of course, there’s real cream in it.
I love all soups. My favorite is the classic chicken noodle.
My favorite summer soup is Chilled Cantaloupe Soup
I love soup, though I’ll be honest and confess I’ve never had or made a cold soup, though it does sound delicious!
My family’s favorite soup by far is my Chicken Tortilla Soup, which I’ve made so many times, I don’t measure anymore. But, even it being a spicy soup and well in the 90’s and sometimes in the 100’s ( like this summer) we still enjoy it. 🙂
I actually love hot chicken soup in the summer. I never knew it was weird and asked my grandmother to make it in even when it was 90 degrees, and she never had air conditioning.
I make and love Beansy-Greensy all year round. It’s based on whatever dried beans are in my pantry, plus whatever fresh greens are in my garden (or fridge). Salt and pepper, an improvised bouquet of herbs, and something for tang (this can be vinegar, lemon, or yogurt if you’re doing dairy). It’s different every time, and always delightful!
My favorite summer soup is a cold strawberry, watermelon, basil and balsamic soup with a yogurt drizzle. Cool, refreshing, and makes use of the top summer fruits 🙂
My favorite summer soup is spicy gazpacho! Though I’d love to have the recipe from Nina for her watermelon gazpacho – it’s my favorite summer melon. Thanks!
i make a winter minestreone without the pasta and in the summer its delicious cold, very refreshing with lots of veggies and just the right spices.
I agree with Leah – Spicy Gazpacho for sure
I love a spicy udon noodle soup in the summer. It’s quick to fix and spicy food is always good.
I love a spicy gazpacho in the summer! YUMMY : )
Tomato Bisque. It’s what I eat year round, summer is no different.
I like a good Vietnamese Pho.
It may be summer, but chicken soup is still my favorite soup- all year round!
I like salmorejo (http://koshercamembert.wordpress.com/2011/04/13/postcard/) – it’s a thick and creamy tomato-only gazpacho the recipe for which I picked up in Spain.
My favorite summer soup is gazpacho– really it’s my all year favorite!
My favorite summer soup is my homemade fruit soup that I make with fresh summer fruits
My favorite is Garden Veggie Cheese Soup 🙂 *Thanks* for the giveaway!
My favorite soup summer, winter, fall and or spring is a thick carrot soup that has a little bit of curry in it. Love it any time of day or year. Thank you for your consideration.
Strawberry Rhubarb for sweet & tangy.
Cucumber Yogurt for savory.
hands down…gazpacho!!
My favorite cold soup is Gazpacho.
Hands down…watermelon gazpacho…not a tomato in the dish. Pureed watermelon with chopped cucumber, celery, watermelon, and peppers, plus a bit of lime juice, red wine vinegar, and fresh mint…yum! A big hit at the Shabbat lunch table.
I love Cucumber Yogurt Soup with or without fresh dill. Living in Miami, I need a soup that is both cooling and filling and this one works like a charm.
gazpacho is my favorite, but I also love cold beet borscht!
My new favorite soup (and it’s summer, so this counts) is Moloukhiya (sp??). It’s an Egyptian dish that my mother in law makes (that I have yet to learn) with moloukhiya leaves she buys from the Arab store, and she always makes turkey with it, so she must use some of the turkey fat for it. It’s awesome, but is an acquired taste – you may not like it the first time, but by the third, you’ll be in love! Yummmm
