I am getting really great inspirations from the Food Network and online recipes. These are some of the soups I will be making over the next few weeks. I am really excited to explore new flavors for summer. To be honest, I hate the idea of drinking soup on a sunny day. Hot soup, hot day. Not a pleasant mix. I also don't like many "summer soup" recipes that I find because they are really sweet. And I refuse to serve a smoothie in a soup bowl. I want my soups to be refreshing, but also rich!
Some ingredients I want to experiment with this summer's are....mint, cucumber, lemongrass, cilantro, melons (all kinds), avocado, sweet red peppers, mango, coconut, ginger, tomatillo, lump crab/lobster, corn fresh off the cob, summer squash, chilis (even if it may bring on the heat) and perhaps even cherries. And shallots, shallots, shallots! No heavy spanish onion this summer!
Avocado Chill (key: Haas avocado with a kick of lime, cilantro and mint)
Dewy Day Fizz (key: Honeydew Melon and apple cider)
Mango Funk (key: ginger, something like this...but not really)
Tomatillo Crisp (key: tomatillo, lime, fresh tortilla)
A Day at Sea (key: chilled lump crab, sweet red peppers)
Coco Nuts (key: coconut milk, pistachio, lemongrass) Darn! I found a great inspiration that included rum as a key ingredient! Grr! Sacrifice Cristy, sacrifice!
Sunny Squash (key: yellow squash, rosemary)
Clearly, these are all still in the works. I will get a better idea once I visit Whole Foods this weekend. Clever names will follow :)
