SOUP FOR SUMMER: TURNING EVEN THE MOST COMPLEX OF SOUPS INTO A DELIGHTFUL SUMMER MEAL IS EASIER THAN YOU THINK

摘要

For some, soup is what you eat on a blustery winter night when you're chilled to the bone. On such nights, a steaming tureen will warm the body and salve the soul. But soup is also a summer thing. When the garden and the farmers market are overflowingwith gorgeous produce, your homemade soup will come out of the pot bursting with flavors you just can't replicate any other time of year. And on sultry nights when it's too hot to think about solid food, soup—eaten either chilled or hot—is the perfecttonic. Still, once the concept of summer soup is embraced there's another hurdle to overcome.

But tradition is givingway to a more relaxed and enlightened view of soup and wine.
