19 Cold Soup Recipes to Chill Out With This Summer (2024)

FAQs

What is the healthiest soup to eat? ›

Gazpacho is a classic cold Spanish soup, perfect for sweltering summer days. It's traditionally made with fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion, and garlic. For this version, we are including even more fresh garden vegetables and spicing up the soup with some Tabasco and Worcestershire sauce.

The key to a great cold soup bar is a tempting array of toppings and stir-ins that can be added to the soup to both personalize and enhance the fragrance and flavor. Offer small bowls of crispy fried onions, toasted nuts, and crumbled or grated cheeses such as Feta or Parmesan.

Use ice water bath

This method helps decrease the food temperature quickly and safely. Fill a large container or clean sink with ice and a small amount of water. Place the kettle of soup into the ice bath. Stir the soup to release heat and aid cooling.

Why cold soup is s(o)uper. As well as tasting delicious, cold soup is very refreshing, easily digestible and low in calories. It is also quick and easy to prepare – you can either cook it and leave it to cool down or blend the raw vegetables.

According to the Taste Atlas Awards, the international food database, the Filipino favorite, Sinigang, is hailed as the best soup in the world.

Nutrient-Rich: Gazpacho is typically made with fresh, raw vegetables such as tomatoes, bell peppers, cucumbers, and onions. These ingredients offer a variety of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, contributing to a nutrient-rich meal.

Like most foods, it's good for two or three days, maybe one more, as far as food safety is concerned. But safety aside, gazpacho relies on freshness for the best flavor. If you want to keep it more than two days, you're probably better off freezing it.

Although it's often okay to leave on tomato skins when cooking them, they are too fibrous to slurp in soup form. To remove the skins, mark a small "X" on the bottom, gently lower them into boiling water for 30 seconds, then shock in ice water. The skins will slip right off, and you can proceed with the gazpacho recipe.

How do you make a cold buffet? ›

Put a ladle or big spoon in each soup so people don't cross-contaminate. Set out a big stack of bowls. Use disposable bowls if you don't have 20 bowls (I certainly don't have 20 bowls!) —just make sure the disposable bowls are strong enough to hold hot soup.

A fun twist is to offer lots of garnishes, like cheese popcorn, croutons, goldfish crackers, chopped fresh herbs, and grated cheese. Sour cream, pesto, and salsas make great toppings, too. Add delicious bread, a fresh, crisp salad, and an impressive dessert and you have the makings for a fun and relaxing soup buffet.
