Gazpacho, a classic cold soup from Spain, makes a great hot-weather meal. You start with fresh seasonal ingredients, never turn on your stove, and you're done in minutes.
The most traditional version and the one best known to Americans is based on tomatoes. But you'll see it made with cucumber and even melon. That's the fun of this dish -- you can tweak it to make it the way you (and the kids) like.
Try this fruity twist on soup: Blend your favorite choice of melon -- cantaloupe, honeydew, or watermelon -- with lemon or lime juice, bread, and olive oil.
