So many people just post links. If you don't want link then you need to specify and not get all crabby with people.





Anyway I don't have the recipes in front of me but look for a chilled cucumber soup, or I have even seen an avacado lime soup.
I already know I'm going to spell this wrong, but look into vichyssoise, a soup made from potatoes, cream and chives, You can serve it hot or cold.
