Grilled and Chilled Peach Soup

Even though I’m starting to get solicitous emails for Halloween costumes, I refuse, on August 1st, to admit that summer is ever ending.

The farm stands are bursting with a cornucopia of fresh fruits, veggies and herbs.

The corn is almost as high as an elephant’s eye.

The frothy surf is just a tad bit warmer.

In my mind, summer is FINALLY here.

To celebrate the season, I’ve been thoroughly enjoying grilling fruits and vegetables outside.  Have you grilled any Kale yet?  Watch my video:

My favorite grilled fruits recipes are for peaches, pineapples and bananas.  Today, Seriously Soupy will share her her simple yet refreshing recipe for Grilled and Chilled Peach Soup.

Don’t forget, there’s an abundance of chilled soups waiting to be tried.  Once you do try them,  you’ll get hooked and your soups will undoubtedly become a fixture to your picnic table alongside the burgers and dogs.

Here’s what our resident expert Seriously Soupy has to say:

Chilling various fruits and vegetables is a great way to create new soups while staying cool. I want to test out a few this summer and started with a grilled and chilled peach soup. This soup-like blend took two days to make, which began by grilling the peaches with fresh mint, basil and lavender. The mixture was then cooled overnight in the fridge and blended together with some water and chilled in a freezer for a tangy/sweet soup-like blend that is sure to be a hit this summer. Enjoy!
