What’s up with COLD SOUPS? I just don’t get the concept. If you are a cold soup lover, please, by all means enlighten me. I am not a fan.
I have had two cold soups in my life that I am aware of and this is enough for me to call it quits.
Both “cold soups” were good, but did not belong. It was not a soup I wanted to gobble down as I would a chicken noodle or Borcht (one of my Russian favorites), it was more of a yogurt dipping sauce for falafel or chips.

Therefore, cold soups are not soups, they are dips and sauces that you should eat with other thing and not just by themselves in a big soup bowl.
Soups are hot and cozy. Ah, let’s look up a definition…
SOUP:
pronunciation [soop]
–noun
1.
a liquid food made by boiling or simmering meat, fish, or vegetables with various added ingredients.
And from a culinary dictionary...

Yes, yes, they mention cold soups, I know. But I even like fruit soups hot. I had them as a kid. Now that I think of it, My mom made them a lot and they were really good. But, not cold, isn’t that like a fruit compote that you serve with granola and yogurt?
Anyway. I love “cold soups” let’s just not call them cold soups.
Ignorance is Bliss and I don't want to know all the technical terms and why cold soups exist. This is another one of my food conclusions.
