I love savory chilled soups, especially during the hottest days of summer. However, I'm not really a fan of chilled "dessert" soups, like cherry or blueberry soups. They're too much for my non-existent sweet tooth.

I like gazpacho, but I've not been impressed by any other cold soup. I don't really like creamy cold soup.

I am on the fence. While I love the idea of a chilled gazpacho with perhaps some cold shrimp thrown in for added 'oomph', I very rarely every make it at home and never order it in a restaurant.

LOVE. Gazpacho is amazing when done right, but I also love a recipe my SO makes for chilled sweet pea soup. It has buttermilk so it's creamy, but light and savory/sweet and soooooo good!

Also I should mention: if you ever get a chance to get your hands on a copy of "The Soup Bible", by Debra Mayhew, DO IT because she has some really delicious chilled soups in there (avocado, cucumber walnut, watercress and orange, and many more). That book is AMAAAAZING.

Nope. I want to like them. But I don't. I especially dislike gazpacho, which is a bowl full of things I like! So why don't I like it? Because it's cold. And my reptile brain will not accept cold soup, even though my frontal lobes are saying "Hey, a cold soup would be perfect on this hot, hot day!"

I had my first chilled soup, Strawberry, on a cruise ship several years ago. I like the chilled dessert soups, but haven't had the savory ones. I guess I need to try some. ☺

I hate chilled avocado soup, with a passion. UGH.
Love gazpacho though, but only if its done right, under seasoned its awful stuff!
This is my favourite: http://moreterriers.blogspot.com/2011/06/gazpacho-on-summer-night.html

I don't really like them, but I always like hot or warm things more than cold (exception: Ice cream). If somebody serves them I will eat them and maybe even like them, but I always think: that would be (even) nicer hot.

I love cold soup. I have made successful avocado, cucumber, leek (Vichyssoise mmmm), and of course gazpacho soups that have been well received.

I can't do chilled soups. Vichyssoise? Yum, but heat it up please. I understand the desire for them, but my brain can't wrap itself around cold soup. That said, cold sweet/fruit soups I thought was too cool as a kid on a cruise (where cold fruit soup seems to flourish) but even then, especially now, I'm just like "call this a smoothie or a fruit puree and give me it in a glass with a straw. Don't put this in a bowl with a spoon and pretend its soup"

Chilled soup is good only when spicy. This summer, I had a chilled cantaloupe soup that was made with orange juice, cinnamon, and cayenne. Delicious. Same goes for gazpacho and ceviche, gotta have some peppers in there. I've made a few chilled tomato soups that are pretty decent, but I always end up adding a lot of fresh black pepper.

Chilled savory soups just don't sound that appealing to me. I absolutely looooove chilled fruit soups, though, kind of like a liquid popsicle!!

chilled soups == boooo, I'm not a fan, i'd rather have hot soup on a hot day than cold soup on any day. just my opinion though, i know some people who love cold soup, i can't get into it though. :)

Love it. Especially tomato water. I have a recipe from Raymond Blanc that was worth the price of airfare.

Yuck. It makes me think I'm eating a bowl of sauce or salsa with no chips. It's just wrong.

Chilled cream of potato is the greatest thing ever on a hot day! :)

I'm with jmorri26 and nwatrous - my brain is baffled when try to eat smoothies or salsa/sauces from a bowl with a spoon.

My dad makes chilled raspberry soup from his garden and it is lovely. The trick is adding a little red wine to bring down the sweetness and add depth. I went on a cruise this summer and they had chilled soups on the menu almost every day, and every time they were delicious. They were almost always chilled fruit soups though, and some would have been better served as desserts rather than as a soup course because they were so sweet.

I'm really finicky with cold soups. I LIKE them but I don't like the fact that there's heavy cream and/or sour cream in them.

The whole 'cream' factor turns me off to them.

Noooo thanks. If I want something fruity and chilled, I'll have some sherbet.

My grandma made us a DELICIOUS chilled cucumber soup the other day. I'm on the "love them" side, so long as they're done right.

You know, I used to hate the idea of a cold soup. HATED IT! However, I've actually started eating my smoothies from a bowl rather than sucking them down through a straw in record time. It helps me to savor each spoonful, and I'm the cold soup thing is growing on me!

Now, on a cold fall or winter day, you won't find me eating chilled soups. I'll save those for summer!

I say yes to cold soups! I even blogged about some delicious recipes a couple weeks ago!

I love them, I wish more restaurants served them.

I've never had one, but there's something about it that just does not sound all that appealing...
