summer soup

Cold tomato blend

Summer soup is a cold or chilled soup served during warm weather, when hot soup feels inappropriate.

Gazpacho and vichyssoise are classic examples.

The term describes any soup meant to be refreshing rather than warming: She made a summer soup from cucumbers and yogurt.
