Guest guest Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 Thank you for this, Reb. It is way below the usual in temperature here,but I am told that it hit 80 degrees (f) in Seattle, which is NORTH ofwhere I am. Love that summer soup!Appreciatively,nTo: MSersLife Sent: Tue, June 7, 2011 11:55:03 AMSubject: Summer soup! It's hot here. Really, really, really hot. Above 90 degrees F on the outside, and way, way above that indoors... And in that kind of weather the dinner issue is tricky: What can you eat in heat like that, and preferably, what can you eat that doesn't mean turning on the stove (and increasing the heat in the kitchen), and, if you can really get three wishes, what can you eat, that doesn't make you turn on the stove AND doesn't make you stay in the kitchen longer than necessary.Well...You can barbecue (at least it's not done in the kitchen), but we did that all this holiday/weekend more or less. You could also order take-outs, of course, but we have done that a bit too. There is the option of cold fruit soup, or fresh berries, in either case served with cold milk in bowls, and with sandwiches on the side, we haven't ventured there yet during this heat wave, but we didn't really feel like having something that sweet. Solution? A recipe for "summer soup" we found in one of our cookbooks. I am sharing it here with you:Whip up yoghurt (about a quarter of a gallon), mix in chopped up fresh cucumber, some chopped up pickled cucumber and a couple of tomatoes (also chopped). Add parsley, chives and mint leaves, plus salt and pepper (and, if you like to, garlic and herbal salt). Place in the fridge for at least an hour before serving. Serve cold.Delicious!love/Reb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
