Total time: 15 min • Prep: 15 min • Cook: 0 min • Serves: 6 • Difficulty: Easy
If you can’t stand the heat, get into the kitchen and whip up this classic chilled soup, full of crunchy, nourishing vegetables and spicy flavors. We add chicken and a few croutons and it becomes a meal in itself. For a touch of richness, serve with a tablespoon of reduced-fat sour cream. You can make this soup, without the chicken, up to two days ahead of time and store it, covered, in the refrigerator. Stir in the chicken just before serving. Because leftovers don’t need to be reheated, they’ll make a great portable lunch during the warmer months of summer.
