That it is hot in summer is something that does not catch anyone by surprise, although sometimes it is a bit difficult to use your imagination and think of fresh recipes that are not the usual gazpacho or salmorejo. Be careful, at El Comidista we are very much in favor of traditional gazpacho, but eating the same thing every day of the summer can be boring. For this reason, we have prepared this compilation of our best cold soups so that you can enjoy a light, fresh and original first course every day without falling into monotony. Of course, open your minds and take off the mask of purists, because our best cold soups include fruits, cheeses, sauces such as pesto and many other ingredients.
COLD CORN SOUP
This corn, tomato and yellow pepper soup is not only a burst of color, but also a refreshing option for when the heat makes you hungry.
COLD TOMATO AND MASCARPONE SOUP WITH PESTO
In this recipe we take advantage of the fact that the tomatoes are in full season and we turn them into an Italian-inspired cold soup thanks to the pesto and mascarpone, which gives it an unctuous texture.
OLD-STYLE GAZPACHO
The original gazpachos were prepared without a blender, without scalding and with what was at hand: the base was a clear soup of crushed garlic, candeal bread and cold water to which herbs and chopped vegetables were added.
COLD CREAM OF WHITE BEANS
Who said that in summer legumes can only be eaten in salads or hummus? Our soup presents them in a liquid version, reinforced with a garnish of tomatoes, olives and piparras.
COLD WATERMELON AND BEET SOUP
One grows above ground, the other below; one is for summer, the other for winter -although we can find it cooked all year round-, and both come together to become a refreshing and flavorful soup.
CILANTRO GAZPACHO
This version of the popular Andalusian cold soup is very typical in the western area of this community. With a bunch of fresh coriander, water, vinegar, bread, oil and garlic we have a different summer starter than usual.
SALMOREJO OF APRICOT
Preparing salmorejo at home takes no more than five minutes. Also, you can try other recipes different from the classic one, like this fruity version with apricots.
COLD CARROT, COCONUT AND GINGER SOUP
When temperatures rise, cold creams begin to rise in the food recipe book. Today’s has poached carrot, vegetable broth, spring onion, ginger and an unctuous touch of coconut milk.
NECTARINE GAZPACHO
Cherries, peach, watermelon, melon, mango… do you also succumb to recipes for cold soups with fruit to refresh yourself in summer, or do you think that there is only one gazpacho and we find the others on the street? If you are one of the first, this nectarine gazpacho is perfect for you.
COLD VEGETABLE CREAM WITH BASIL AND CURED CHEESE
If you always have leftover basil when you buy a bunch for a recipe, this cold cream that substitutes dairy for avocado has all the numbers to become your talisman of summer advantage.
