I'm not about to let the warmer weather keep me from eating my favorite meal--a big bowl of soup. So, I've been on the lookout for recipes of the traditional soup's cooler cousin. I find that I prefer "cold" soups only slightly chilled. Sometimes the cold can mask the flavors too much. Heidi Swanson's cookbook "Super Natural Cooking" intrigued me with her Crema de Guacamole with Crunchy Topopos recipe. It combines tomatillos, serrano chiles, cilantro, lime, avocados, and more into a very satisfying soup. It's on the higher end of tart but kept tame with smooth, ripe avocados. If you plan on making it, I suggest skipping the part where she has you strain the pureed tomatillos and serrano chiles mixture--the texture keeps it interesting. Please feel free to share any cold soup recipes that you love!
