Creative ideas for a summer cold dish (2024)

Preparing a cold soup is extremely simple and can be adapted to your own taste. The base is usually a fruit puree that is mixed with juices, water or dairy products such as yogurt or buttermilk. Depending on the recipe, spices such as cinnamon, vanilla or fresh mint can also be added to refine the taste. To prepare a cold soup yourself, simply proceed as follows:

1. Select fruits: Choose your favorite fruits or a combination of different types. Popular ones include berries, apples, peaches, or mango.
2. Puree fruit: Cut the fruit into small pieces and puree until smooth.
3. Add liquid: Dilute the fruit puree with water, juice or dairy products of your choice. You can decide how thick you want the cold soup to be.
4. Seasoning: Add sugar, honey or other sweeteners to taste and refine the cold dish.
5. Cooling: Place the cold dish in the fridge for at least an hour so that it gets nice and cold.
6. Serving: Garnish the cold dish as desired with fresh fruit, mint leaves or a dollop of cream.

For those who would like to try something special, adding liqueurs is a good idea. This gives the cold soup a special touch and ensures extra enjoyment. Here are some creative ideas on how you can prepare a cold soup with liqueur.

• Cold apple soup with baked apple liqueur: This version is a tribute to the classic baked apple. Puree fresh apples and mix them with apple juice and a little lemon juice.
