When the summer heat becomes too much to bear, cool off with one of these summer soups, some of which can be prepared without turning on the stove and all of which are delicious served straight from the refrigerator. Serve them as a starter before an elegant party, or simply enjoy them for lunch with a wedge of good bread.
