Creaminess abounds with this velvety soup of avocados and cucumbers. The addition of creamy goat cheese marries well with the creamy coconut milk. It's a melody of flavors in this cooling recipe. You are going to fall in love.
Classic Gazpacho
Submitted by Scott Koeneman
This classic summer gazpacho says seasonal in every bite. It's a luscious creamy textured soup, served warm or cooled, and tastes of the freshness that you can only get during the growing season. Use your Farmer's market as your guide, and switch up the ingredients a bit to keep things seasonal. This is a wonderful addition to a light summer summer table.
Mulberry Soup with Ginger Yogurt
Submitted by Sanura Weathers
We bet you had no idea that the summer fruit; Mulberry, made a wonderful chilled summer soup? We wanted to introduce you to our new food crush. This chilled mulberry soup is an over the top summer treat. It is full of nutrition, but that is only a small part of what makes it so special. Fresh mulberries, Elderberry Liqueur, vanilla and sugar, make up the base of this delightful dish. Then, with a hint of mint and a dollop of ginger infused yogurt, completes this special bowl. It is fancy enough for guests, yet tasty and easy enough for everyday eating. We suggest making it at least once this summer. It's wonderful.
