The Lightness Of Summer...Cold Soup:)


Cold soups are refreshing during this season and also easy to hurl the ingredients in a blender for a quick make. They are sweet, savory, creamy or clear...some have it in the beginning of a meal and some end the course with it. Purees of vegetables and fruits along with creams, stocks, butter milk or curd some time light tea are used to prepare a cold soup.Tropical fruits like Banana, Guava, Pineapple, Mangoes, Melons are pureed and prepared  with whipped light cream also by spicing it with lemon or lime juice and garnishing with mint, fresh cut fruit chunks. For better taste & texture letting cold soups chill over night or at least four to six  hours in the refrigerator is best. A chilled bowl of cold soup on a harried, humid day is just cracking for anyone.
What do you like the most preparing a cold soup? Most of the cold soups require little or no cooking which helps keeping the kitchen cool. 

Ripe mangoes - 2 medium sized peeled and cut into cubes.
Sugar - 1/4 cup or as desired
Lemon zest - According to the taste
Lemon juice - 1/4 cup 
Place mango, sugar, lemon juice and lemon zest into a blender. Process until smooth and creamy. Serve when chilled. Garnish it with fruit chunks and with dash of fresh cream.

This is September, and the month offers its own fresh start to many things. Here in India, it is the beginning of festivities and celebrations for the next few coming weeks. These are the days of showers too, and it is truly refreshing & soothing to see the plants and trees after every brief shower. The moist leaves give us an impression that they are happy and smiling and breathing a 'Thank You' for the fresh green look. I love the colour green and as we all know it is one of Mother Natures primary colours. The green stem is honoured and credited to hold every flower of different colours. That's awesome. Inspiration comes from every where and the colour green inspired me to do a scape, with the green touch. I collected the green ware from the racks and putting it together as a teascape was pleasing to the eyes like the happy greenery around us. Sometimes it is wonderful to have tea and treat ourselves amongst a small collection of green plants. M...

Coffee in the Bedroom

The bedroom, the place where we spend one-third of our life, is a special place indeed and it holds all the beautiful possibilities that we wake up to early in the morning. Enjoying coffee in bed along with reading the newspaper is something one looks forward to & it is a wonderful feeling after a hard days work too. Like many I love the smell and taste of coffee made from a Peculator, and it is also easy and quick to prepare coffee with. Having coffee in bed, along with breakfast on a Sunday morning makes you feel fresh, something that every heart would wish for. Presenting a coffee scape from my bedroom on an early Sunday morning & enjoy your cuppa. Please do visit Cusine Kathleen Please do visit A Delightsome LIfe
