And I was a teen then!I make a few other cold soups too, but the other big favorite here is almost as old, clipped from a magazine when I was a newly wed. Peeled, sliced cucumbers cooked in broth. Add lemon juice and fresh pepper. Puree and chill. Whisk in sour cream. Perfect. And looks elegant with a dab of sour cream and a cucumber slice floating on top.Trisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08058396345946250313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-53249462001930687052017-07-17T17:36:52.607-04:002017-07-17T17:36:52.607-04:00It was.

It doesn't do to get too attached to any of them, though, because by the time I get back there is some other establishment in that spot.Karen in Ohiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18002794561817071780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-72380091964740474282017-07-17T17:31:31.005-04:002017-07-17T17:31:31.005-04:00Karen, that sound delicious.Karen, that sound delicious.Hallie Ephronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04759439029582054503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-46191723664311926512017-07-17T17:31:08.182-04:002017-07-17T17:31:08.182-04:00Cucumber and... buttermilk? yogurt? dill?Cucumber and... buttermilk? yogurt? dill?Hallie Ephronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04759439029582054503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-68240128934578490182017-07-17T17:30:32.060-04:002017-07-17T17:30:32.060-04:00Cold spring pea soup with cream is divine.Cold spring pea soup with cream is divine.Karen in Ohiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18002794561817071780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-12213906640676648152017-07-17T17:28:57.542-04:002017-07-17T17:28:57.542-04:00I just remembered another amazing cold soup, one I...I just remembered another amazing cold soup, one I had in Austria last summer. It was asparagus season, and I ordered a whole meal of dishes featuring asparagus, including a cold soup and a hot soup. One used green, and the other white asparagus. Easy one was time, about two ounces, but I sipped them very slowly, alternating, unable to decide which was more delicious.Karen in Ohiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18002794561817071780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-34993640826602660362017-07-17T17:24:16.722-04:002017-07-17T17:24:16.722-04:00Mine is horseradish, of all things.

I just never think to do so.<br /><br />When my girls were little, I taught them what they could eat in the garden, and what was edible in our (untreated) yard. They learned about clover, dandelions, honeysuckle, and edible pod peas, borage, strawberries, and other stuff.<br /><br />When the youngest was about three, and very sweet and love, she came up to me as if she wanted a kiss.

(At the time, bride and groom were, horror of horrors, vegetarians). I looked at it and said, "Is the food that bad that they gave us a bowl of Pepto Bismol in advance?"<br /><br />Turns out it was strawberry soup. But it just looked so gawdawful unappetizing that I didn't dare try it.
