Chilled soups for summer, no-churn ice cream, a simple meal plan, picnic-ready meals, terrible food hacks and in-season recipe ideas.
Too Hot to Cook? Chill Out with a Cool Soup It almost sounds crazy, the thought of serving bowls full of soup in the middle of summer. If you've always thought of soup as a fall or winter dish that'll warm you up, it's time to rethink this dinnertime classic. Soups come in all forms – including cold gazpachos and chilled spins on old favorites. And they're the perfect solution for a quick meal when temperatures are just too hot to pop dinner in the oven. Need inspiration? Our Chilled Corn Soup with Shrimp, Avocado and Tomato Relish is as colorful as it is packed with in-season produce. Pair our Cool Minted Pea Soup with shrimp seasoned with fresh orange juice and zest. Or, take the ingredients of delicious Green Goddess dressing and make our Chilled Green Goddess Soup with Open-Face Shrimp Lettuce Cups. And if you haven't tried gazpacho, our Seared Scallops with White Gazpacho Sauce is a light, quick and easy dish. These summer-ready meals will help you beat the heat without swearing off your stove completely. Who would've thought you'd be sipping soup in the warmest weeks of the season! |
