Cool Summer Soup Recipes
Summer is coming and so is the hot weather. No-one likes to cook in the heat of summer. A really hot meal on a hot day is pretty much as detested. It might be that a cool, simple to prepare summer soup is just what you need.
Below are three recipes for soups that can be made in your Kenwood or blender. If you have the ingredients on hand, none take more than 10 mins to make. They’re all tasty, tasty, and really refreshing on a hot day. While the recipes all suggest you use a food processor, you can get superb results by employing a blender or hand blender too.
These are all very simple recipes, so do not be shy to modify them and get a taste that your full family can enjoy.
Here are the recipes.
Summer Vegetarian soup
This is great tasting soup with a hint of Italy included. It is super easy to make and awfully healthy. It is very good on a hot summer day
An avocado – skin and pit removed of course
4 Roma tomatoes – they may not be quite mouth-watering enough ( see later )
Basil to sample ( Thai basil is really good in this )
4 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
Process
How easy is this soup? Simply throw everything into your mixer and mix till it is smooth. If you find that it is more like a smoothie than soup, simply add more liquid ( or swap one of the Roma tomatoes for another more delicious variety ). Pour into bowls, garnish as you wish ( minced chives are nice ) and enjoy.
Sensational Salsa & Black Bean
This soup is a very simple soup that takes just a few minutes to prepare. It can be served hot, but always benefits from being heated.
approximately 4 servings
INGREDIENTS :
two standard sized cans of black beans ( any brand is OK, but try for low salt )
1 [*FR1] cups soup stock ( Just use chicken, meat, or vegetable bullion )
1 cup of your favourite salsa ( chunky makes a heartier soup )
1 teaspoon cumin ( best to use fresh ground in the soup and you can splatter seeds on top too )
quarter cup of sour cream
1-2 green onions sliced fine
Process :
Put the beans, salsa, cumin, and soup stock into a food processor ( a blender is OK too ). Puree the mix till it is creamy in texture. Tip the mix into a medium sized pot and heat on low-medium till it is completely hot. This permits the flavours to merge. If you are going to serve it cold, move it to the fridge to cool off till it is time to eat. To eat it hot, simply serve into bowls and garnish with the onions and some of the sour cream.
MANGO SOUP
Mangos are simply divine. They’re great as a fruit, stirred into drinks, added to salads. They also make a fairly good cool summer soup which is explained below.
Ingredients :
1 large RIPE mango ( it will be soft, no soft, to touch )
two cups chicken soup stock ( make your own or use bullion if you have to )
1 TBSP lemon grass ( available in most Asian markets, it looks like long greenish reeds when you buy it )
one TBSP ginger – Freshly sliced is best
Ground chili peppers to taste
one cup yogurt ( 2% plain is best )
2 TBSP cilantro ( chinese parsley ) chopped fine
Process :
Chop mango and put in blender. Mix momentarily and then put in the ginger, lemon grass, chili and 0.5 cup of soup stock. Mix again till everything becomes really smooth. Move the soup into another bowl ( be certain it is large enough ) and mix in first the remainder of the stock, and then the yogurt. This is best served cold, so put in refrigerator until you are ready to eat. Then put into bowls and serve with the cilantro as the garnish.
As the temperature starts to go up give these soups a try. They’re all very simple and will add a new tasty and healthy dimension to your summer diet.
