I think it's gross.

YABU = I like it
YANBU = I don't like it

I love it. DH hates it.

CherryPavlova · 09/07/2020 22:21

Lazy summer supper party starter. Grim.

We were going to have it at our wedding, but we decided against it as we could just hear the grandparents saying ‘lovely wedding, but the soup was cold’. 😁

I don't like cucumber so don't like it. I love salmorejo though, which is another Spanish cold soup, but thickened with bread.

Whoopsmahoot · 09/07/2020 22:35

🤮 soup should be piping hot not cold

jackdaw141 · 09/07/2020 22:38

No. Because according to the votes it is 50/50.

Happy now?

MarieIVanArkleStinks · 09/07/2020 22:38

I love it. Delia's recipe is excellent. But cold soup should be really cold, not just lukewarm. A couple of chunks of ice does the job.

Aldi sells it and it's delicious. Feels very healthy too.

YANBU I remembering having it in Majorca years ago and quickly regretting it.

AstridAv · 09/07/2020 22:45

Well I, off to google because I've never even heard of itBlush

AstridAv · 09/07/2020 22:47

After I quick google, I have decided I will probably never try it. Doesn't sound appealing to me. All I got from that was cold raw vegetable soupGin

@HollyHocks13

I love it! I think people who haven't tried it don't like the idea of cold soup but it's not soup that's been cooked and left to go cold - more of a liquidised salad!
never tried it as it has never appealed but that description had put me off it for life 🤢

I love it.

WinWinnieTheWay · 09/07/2020 22:55

I do, but will only eat authentic ones when in Spain or the Balearics.

WinWinnieTheWay · 09/07/2020 22:56

I have some idea that asparagus soup can also be eaten cold. Is that a thing or have I imagined it?

Oldsu · 09/07/2020 23:06

is there a button for never heard of it, could google it but cant be arsed

JammyHands · 09/07/2020 23:09

I love it but I leave out the bread, which to me gives it a mushy consistency that is revolting.

JammyHands · 09/07/2020 23:10

@winwinnie might you be thinking of Vichyssoise, which is a leek and potato soup with a lot of cream in?

WinWinnieTheWay · 09/07/2020 23:16

@JammyHands bingo! Yes! With little chives sprinkled on. Yum.

Tillygetsit · 09/07/2020 23:18

Delicious

minipie · 09/07/2020 23:21

Love it on a really hot day. Wouldn’t want it in any other weather.

AdaColeman · 09/07/2020 23:24

@WinWinnieTheWay, yes chilled asparagus soup is a well known dish, also asparagus and avocado. Some other well known chilled soups are cucumber & yoghurt, consommé, Greek egg & lemon, pea & mint.

Chochito · 09/07/2020 23:26

I love gazpacho and salmorejo and eat one of them at least once a day in summer. I prefer gazpacho.
