With the summer heat beginning to blaze down, most of probably won’t be having a lot of soup for dinner over the next few months. Soup is traditionally a cold weather meal, as the warm liquid broth serves to keep our insides warm.
But for soup enthusiasts here at Uptown Buckhead that are waiting the warm weather out, there are alternative recipes that just might satisfy your palate and won’t leave you sweating bullets in the heat. Particulary, fruit soups are becoming the new “it” item on summer time menus. Many can be served either hot or cold.
Check out the recipe for Peachy Ginger Soup I found. Sound delicious? Head down to the Peachtree Road Farmers Market, grab some fresh, in-season Georgia peaches and try it out!
