Cold soup recipes are very refreshing to serve in the heat of the summer. Below is a gazpacho soup recipe and is extra nice if you can find fresh vegetables from the garden to use in it.

GAZPACHO SOUP

• 10 Peeled plum tomatoes


• 1 Chopped green pepper


• 1 Chopped onion


• 1 Peeled chopped cucumber


• 2 Cups tomato juice


• 2 Teaspoons chopped parsley


• 3 Tablespoons olive oil


• 3 Tablespoons red wine vinegar


• 1 Teaspoon salt


• 1/8 Teaspoon white pepper

Blend the tomatoes, green pepper, onion and cucumber in the blender until smooth. Pour into a large glass bowl. Add the tomato juice, parsley, olive oil, wine vinegar, salt and pepper. Mix well to blend. Set in the refrigerator for several hours to get cold and blend the flavors before serving.

Next from my cold soup recipes is what I call a cucumber soup. Many people might call it a vichyssoise because of the other ingredients in it. This cold soup is also very delicious in the summertime.
