The fabulous Lynne Rossetto Kasper of American Public Radio's "The Splendid Table" had me on her show to talk about summertime, chilled soups that are a snap to make in the blender, like savory smoothies only better. One of my go-to August recipes is for cold buttermilk (or yogurt) soup with fresh herbs, garlic, and almonds - Lynne thought it sounded a little like drinking Ranch dressing, but I promise you it's a treat that surpasses what you might find in Hidden Valley. Listen to the podcast and decide for yourself.
