(Makes 1 serving)

So you took our advice, went to the farmers' market, and loaded up on seasonal produce. Nice work. Now what the heck are you going to do with it? Soup, anyone? We know, we know. Soup is generally considered a winter dish, but it's time to break that mold. After all, we're all outliers here, right?

Enjoy this creamy concoction cold or with a fresh, green salad. It's a great "light" meal for a hot summer night.

• 1/4 tsp. sea salt

2. Process until smooth; serve immediately.
