Puy lentil salad is my current fave and I am also loving roasted butternut squash with pine nuts and spinach.

As for soups, other cold soups include ajo blanco, which is spanish chilled almond soup, chilled asparagus soup and there is a Greek chilled avocado soupe called something like avgolemono which is great too.

carmenere - the almond soup sounds divine

do you have to roast or blanch the almonds first?

and blush of course there is no cheese in seafood risotto
