Cold Summer Soups
Think of this no-cook soup as a Thai-flavored gazpacho. It’s best with really lush summer tomatoes. Serve with a cold noodle dish for a quick summer meal. Adapted from Vegan Soups and Hearty Stews for All Seasons by Nava Atlas. Read More→

The ingredients of classic cold beet borscht are usually cooked together, then chilled, but in this version, there’s no need to cook at all, unless you’d like to lightly pre-cook the beets. Aside from pushing the main component of this classic cold soup through the feed tube of a food processor, there’s not much more to it, and the results are superb. After this has a chance to chill, don’t be shy about amping up the lemon/agave contrast to your taste. Read More→

With temperatures at tropical levels all over the country, this week’s recipe is one of my favorite easy, no-cook soup featuring cucumbers with lots of fresh herbs in a vegan sour cream (or coconut yogurt) base. No matter what else you’ll be serving to celebrate the Fourth of July, this soup would be a great addition to your meal — it’s especially refreshing served with grilled veggies.

A splendid no-cook soup that will awaken taste buds dulled by summer heat, this soup can be eaten as soon as it is made, but definitely benefits from having time to stand for several hours so that the lively flavors can mingle. A cousin to the classic tomato-based gazpacho, this cold soup is a great first course for a Mexican or Southwestern-style meal, and is especially nice to make when fresh tomatillos are in season in late summer.
