Vichyssoise · Thyme for Cooking

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

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

When the new days of summer time arrive I like to have the ability to do some, or all, of the cooking within the morning. Generally meaning making the whole dinner and having it within the fridge, to be served chilly. Different instances 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.
