We make our own cold Gazpacho Soup from garden grown ripe ingredients, so the soup changes as different vegetables ripen.Here is the recipe from the wife of famous chef Jose Andres. It tastes better than what I have been doing. I am adding it so I wont forget when garden vegetables are in peak season again.

This is a Japanese version of an Iranian dish called "koftah". You can fill them with your favorite fillings.Knead the meat and other ingredients well to prevent the balls from falling apart. If you're concerned about them falling apart, add 1 raw egg to the mixture. Recipe by Reiki-

Maybe it is just me but, I love Indian, Middle-Eastern and Persian cuisines. Just a notch lower than Italian (pizza of cos!). I am always drawn in by the wonderful combination of spices and herbs. The great thing is most of the dishes are cooked in a pot or a skillet and most of the ingredients are commonly used in any kitchen.I dare not say that this recipe is 100% authentic; I had researched all over the internet for some Persian recipes and somehow or rather, I took bits and pieces to combine into this soup. Persian cuisine isn't new, it is just not-well-known.I can't find any fresh Kashk or yogurt whey in the place I reside, so I decided to make 1 from scratch. This is a quick and simple way. Please get your hands on whole milk or full fat yogurt. Greek style or low fat will not work. Without much further ado, let's get started with the recipe.

This is a chilled kabocha soup I made many times this summer. It's made from simple ingredients that you won't get tired of.During the cold months, try this soup warm.If you want to cool the soup quickly, place the pan of boiled kabocha on a large bowl of cold water. (Change the cold water many times). Then add it to the blender. Recipe by Mugitarou

I like miso soup with fresh julienned daikon so I make this often.I usually use sardines in place of dashi stock granules, but you can use whatever you prefer.I prefer the daikon to be very tender, but you cook them for as long as you want. Recipe by umemodoki

I really enjoyed the chilled miso soup I had when I stayed in a hot-spring hotel in Niigata Prefecture. I changed the toppings and uploaded this recipe (the one at the hotel had sliced cucumber and shiso).( 1) You can use 2 cups of water + 1 tsp of instant dashi granules.( 2) Adjust the amount of miso according to what you're using.( 3) If you're planning to float some ice cubes in, prepare it on the saltier side.

This soup is filling and luscious, while still being bright and fresh with the addition of lime, lemongrass and chile. Its best made with kobocha squash, which gives the soup an unparalleled creaminess, but pumpkin or butternut squash will work and it will still be awesome. I like to serve this with a side of jasmine rice and garnish with a sprinkle of pumpkin seeds, cilantro and a drizzle of heavy cream.

I thought of this a long time ago to get my youngest child to eat winter melon. My child ate a lot of this and didn't complain, and so I'm proud of this.Even if it's a pain, try to cut the winter melon into small pieces. It's for your own benefit, lol.For the dashi soup stock, you can use a fish or chicken based, whichever is fine. Use whatever you have at home. Recipe by Natsukibaba
