Cold Soups

OK, the other day at Sam's I could not pass up the HUGE bag of carrots that I found---they were cheap and oh so beautiful!! Anyway, Margaret and I decided to peel them and create cold carrot soup on this VERY hot past Monday. We peeled and processed 5 pounds of carrots and then my mom helped us tweek some recipes and create some DELICIOUS cool soup!
On Tuesday, we created Cool Cucumber Avacado soup. It was also delicious and VERY pretty in color. There are no pictures but here is the recipe. It is a MUST TRY if you like avacado and want a refreshing and healthy meal.
2 avacados peeled and processed
1 large cucumber peeled and processed
1 can of 98% fat free cream of celery soup
a little bit of 2% milk
a splash or more of V-8 juice
garlic and cumin to taste
We blended all the ingredients up and then mixed together and chilled. Yummy!

Cold soups are really great on a hot day and we look forward to trying more recipes soon!!
