Cold Soups

Additional Details

Description: Sumptuous starters for fancy dinners, light but hearty one-dish meals, delightful ways to serve fruit for dessert, and refreshing snacks on a warm day, cold soups are supremely versatile. Favored by chefs for their elegance, and by home cooks because they can be made ahead with no last-minute work, cold soups are the perfect way to make use of the seasonal bounty of produce from grocery or garden. Health-conscious cooks love the many cold soups that are made with little or no heat, because few nutrients are lost. 

In the only book devoted to cold soups, Linda Ziedrich offers a host of cold-soup classics, from gazpachos and consommes to borschts and vichyssoise, along with a wealth of innovative new creations. She celebrates the American harvest, with a picnic-perfect Tomato and Basil Soup and a splendid Creamy Zucchini Soup. She explores a wide world of cold soups, from a robust Polish Farmer's Borscht to a savory Azerbaijani Yogurt Soup. She shows how to begin a brunch for guests with a graceful Tarragon Consomme and how to finish a family feast with a sweet and simple Fresh Raspberry Soup. Here are eighty cool, easy-to-prepare recipes for any occasion, any time of year.
