Watermelon Soup Just 4 ingredients go into this easy puréed watermelon soup. It takes just minutes to make, but be sure to let it chill in the fridge for a couple of hours to let the flavors develop -- it really does make all the difference. "Freeze this and it's an awesome watermelon slush," suggests Latasha Rockwell. Photo by Montana. 3. Chilled Cantaloupe Soup Cantaloupe and orange juice take a ride in the blender with fresh lime juice and the merest hint of cinnamon.

Strawberry Soup IV You'll make a simple syrup of wine and sugar to sweeten this blended strawberry soup. Pam Ziegler Lutz says, "I never thought I would make a cold fruit soup. I stumbled upon this recipe and happened to have all the ingredients on hand. I'm very glad I tried it! It was cool and refreshing, perfect for summer." Photo by Meredith. 6. Tomato Basil Soup II "I was surprised how good this was for limited ingredients and effort. I was looking for a good way to use up the tomatoes and basil in the garden and this was great on a hot summer night with a fresh baguette. FRESH BASIL is a MUST. Don't even bother with this recipe if you don't have it. I also cut back on the oil." -- Hatchi Photo by Linda T. Linda T 7. Chilled Tomato and Avocado Soup "I thought this soup was very tasty, and my family enjoyed it as well! It was a great idea for lunch on a hot day (we had Mexican BLT sandwiches as well)." -- JJ's Kitchen Photo by JJ'sKitchen. 8. Avocado Soup Blend ripe avocados with tomato, cream, shallots, and chicken stock to make this rich and creamy soup. DANMILLER45 offers this dreamy assessment, "In the middle of an oppressively hot, humid Chicago summer, my wife and I chilled this soup in the fridge for five hours before serving under the shade of our oak tree in the backyard, and luxuriated in the taste, the texture and the coolness."
