While many people may associate soups with the winter months, chilled soup is a delicious option for warmer weather. Often overlooked, bowls of flavorful chilled soup are sure to surprise. From garlicky vegetable iterations to spicy Southwestern-inspired bowls, we're sharing some of our favorite recipes for chilled soups here.

The first thing that comes to mind when thinking of a cool soup is classic tomatoey Gazpacho, pictured here. We have a number of variations of the tomato-paste-based soup. A sweet-and-savory option comes in the form of Watermelon Gazpacho. The fruit's a summer staple in and of itself, but it reaches new heights when combined with tangy tomatoes. Or try our Golden Gazpacho, which uses squash, heirloom tomatoes, and garlic for a flavorful take on the classic dish.

Looking for something with tons of vitamins and nutrients? Make our healthy Chilled Garlic and Spinach Soup, which features low-sodium chicken broth, low-fat plain yogurt, and loads of greens for a vitamin-rich option. You could also whip up a batch of our airy and Light Gazpacho Broth. It's made with a bunch of fresh produce—tomatoes, radishes, bell peppers, and fennel—for a simply delicious dish that makes for a lovely warm-weather appetizer. Another favorite is our Chilled Pea and Pea-Shoot Soup with Shrimp. Lemony shrimp sit atop a purée of peas and pea shoots to create a symphony of flavors.

For the adventurous diners, try Andrea's Spicy BLT Soup, which has a welcome kick to it. The meal touts a mouthwatering combination of crispy bacon, crunchy croutons, and tender butterhead lettuce. Or opt for our Curried Zucchini Soup, which incorporates curry powder, zucchini, potatoes, and garlic in a hearty dish. Ahead, explore some of our delectable chilled soup recipes to chill out with this summer.
