My Russian fiance’ Anatoli Peter Aizenman… his mom made homemade Russian Borscht… Omg I hate cold beets but her Borscht was awesome. She’d just made it -put in fridge to cool. However it wasn’t cold all the way through. Cold abt 2/3 thru & warm. Sour cream on top. My God so good. Gazpacho - I’ve had 2 I like. In Palm Beach, Fl restaurant right next to Testas that made homemade gazpacho. Had cucumbers that were peeled & sliced elongated. Then sour cream on top (if u wanted it) & then I love Wolfgang Pucks gazpacho recipe. I made it & it was awesome. Gazpacho on a very hot day in South Fl is the bomb.
We went on a cruise a few years ago and they offered chilled fruit soups at the buffet. We really enjoyed them, more as a dessert than a starter - they tasted like melted fruit ice cream, only not as sweet as normal ice cream.
@unksol One of my favorite soups is a Thai chicken, coconut and pumpkin soup. Both pumpkins and coconuts are fruits. Squash, also a fruit, makes a good soup too.
It was the greatest night of my life; I had been invited to the Captain’s table. I had only been with the company FOURTEEN YEARS. Six officers and me… they called me “Arnold!” We had gazpacho soup for starters… I didn’t know that gazpacho soup was meant to be served cold. I called over the chef and told him to take it away and bring it back hot! So he did… the looks on their faces still haunt me today! I thought they were laughing at the chef, when all the time they were laughing at me as I ate my piping hot gazpacho soup! I never ate at the Captain’s table again. That was the end of my career.
I love cold soups! Cucumber avocado soup is my jam. So many good recipes out there, but the basics are at least one cuke, one reasonably sized avocado, dairy (I usually use yogurt or buttermilk), savory broth of some kind (I usually use chicken, but you can go with veg to keep it vegetarian), fresh herb like cilantro, basil, mint, parsley or dill, some ground cumin, cayenne and paprika, and of course, plenty of salt to help bring out those flavors. It goes really well with crab, and one of my favorite versions gets topped with a swirl of some herb-infused oil.
Like cereal, you mean…?
@shahnm Or melted ice cream.

@ybmuG
I shudder at the thought of eating cold борщ.
@DVDBZN @ybmuG Что случилось с этим?
@DVDBZN @shahnm I’d say он был съеден. But what do I know?
@DVDBZN @ybmuG это для меня китайская грамота
I don’t think I’ve ever had a chilled soup. I’ve had soup that sat around for a while, but not purposely chilled.
@Zeusandhera
I once ate instant ramen dry. Does that count? How about cereal?
@DVDBZN @Zeusandhera instant ramen dry makes a nice crunchy snack.
A melted Sunday or Banana Split is really good, and add extra chocolate for true decadence.
@hchavers They’re called “milkshakes”.
Don’t think I’ve ever had one. It doesn’t sound that appealing.
Gazpacho!

@mike808 you mean a virgin bloody Mary? At least serve it in a glass where cold fruit juices belong
Gazpacho is the only one worth (eating?) (drinking?) consuming.

WORKER BEES! HERCULES! TURKEY GREASE! AWESOME!
If the soup has an appropriate amount of fat (fat is flavor after all), then being cold will make the fat congeal.
My ears are burning.
@OnionSoup I like my onion soup hot. Preferably topped with bread and tons of cheese.
Cold potato soup (with the same garnishes as the hot variety) can be a nice accompaniment to a sandwich on a hot summer day.

@macromeh
I was gonna say the same thing. I liked those a lot too.
@macromeh but how is that a soup. Fruit does not go in soup. Unless you’re on the cereal is soup team. That’s melted icecream/frozen yogurt
@macromeh @unksol except maybe tomatoes… tomatoes make good soup/ingredients.

Gazpacho is the best, but chilled cucumber soup is good too.
Ok, for you lightweights that can’t handle borscht or gazpacho…

@ybmuG that looks nauseating
Gaz is my favorite pacho.

I think you are confusing the word “gel” with “soup”. Or we just make our soup very differently. I would not want my chicken soup cold.
Maybe my califlour soup would be ok cold without the collagen… But still no
Vichyssoise… French soup so bad, they named a
nazi-friendly government after it.
@PocketBrain first time I had it I thought it had to be a mistake
Are the same as vegetable smoothies
