Nothing refreshes like cold soup in the summer.
Elegant and light, cold soup won’t weigh you down. It is ideal for lunch or an easy, breezy supper.
I love the orange notes in this one, thanks to the orange juice and zest. I also like that, if I am in a time crunch, I can use superior quality jarred roasted peppers and canned tomatoes. Gotta love that.
I do hope you enjoy the recipe. And here are more yummy cold soups to try this summer:
