Most soups are associated with autumn and winter. They think of soups as something warm, hearty and satisfying that will make you feel good on a cold day. But the truth is, soups don’t have to be hot to be delicious, they can be served cold and taste just as great. You’re probably thinking, “yeah, I’ve heard of gazpacho before, it’s nice, but it’s just one soup.” Yes, while gazpacho is delicious and probably the most famous cold soup, it is not the only soup served cold. There is a whole world of cold soups, from those that can be made in a pot or on the stove and served chilled, to raw soups that do not require heating. So yes, welcome to the world of cold soups, I’ll be your guide.
