Lettuce Soup · Thyme for Cooking

The theme for Monday posts in June is…. Summer season Soups.

These shall be soups that may be made forward and served chilly or room temperature.

When the recent days of summer time arrive I like to have the ability to do some, or all, of the cooking within the morning. Typically meaning making the complete dinner and having it within the fridge, to be served chilly. Different occasions I simply make the edges and marinate the meat to be cooked afterward the barbecue.

A simple soup, served chilled on a scorching summer time day, is all the time welcome.
