9. Cold soups are generally summer soups

and are meant to be refreshing, where hot soups would just be too heavy and unpleasant.

Examples are vichyssoise, a potato, leek and cream soup that is wonderful hot or cold, gazpacho, which is a tomato vegetable soup that is put through a food mill or blended to make it smooth, or yogurt or fruit based soups..

They're a good way to get some nutrition during the dog days of summer when no one feels very hungry because it's just too hot to eat.
