I had a lot of fun creating ColdSoups: Part One. Autumn here in the Northeast can be an up and down
proposition temperature wise. It’s currently a 90-degree, sunny September day.
So there’s still time to try these before its cold enough to crave winter fare
and comfort foods.
Golden Gazpacho with Avocado
By Justin Capple, August 2014 Food & Wine Magazine
Yellow tomatoes and green avocados give this soup a stunning
color palette. Lucky for us, it’s also delicious and cooling. Here’s the recipe.
Buttermilk Corn Soup with Shrimp
Health Magazine
Jeremy and I are crazy about buttermilk, so this recipe had us at hello. Summer – or early fall – translated
into a soup.
Cascadilla
Adapted from the MoosewoodCookbook
One of my sweetest memories revolves around this soup. My
toddler son Jacob was hospitalized for chemotherapy and then infection. It was
a long stay. I was in the throes of early
pregnancy and feeling finicky and grouchy. All I wanted was a cold, creamy and
comforting Cascadilla. The hospital cafeteria wasn’t cutting it.
Jeremy set about gathering a supply of basic kitchen gadgets
for this cook-free delicacy. He did some targeted food shopping. Then he
proceeded to make this soup in Jacob’s hospital room. Jacob didn’t have any,
but Hannah did, albeit indirectly.
On a more practical note, this soup might be worth trying if
you find traditional Gazpacho too tart and acidic.
Our adaptation is that we omit the mushrooms and garnishes. The
soup is endlessly customizable, so do what inspires you. We feel there is no
substitute for regular sour cream. I photographed my cookbook page for easy reference,
or you can find it here.
Chilled Carrot Soup with Sweet Pea Cubes
Shape Magazine, July / August 2015
There is something magical about this soup. How fun is it
that you can make a cold carrot soup, then float cubes of peas mixed with
buttermilk right in it? It tastes fantastic. I made this for the first time
while Hannah was trekking through Eastern Europe earlier this summer. I can
hear her complaining in the next room about the heat. Time for an encore. Recipe here.
