Okay, this is aggravating. I think I have the eating slowly thing down. I made some Soup (it's broccoli soup, made in the magic bullet, and it's YUMMY!) I have 1/2 cup and was planning to eat the whole thing. Well ... I'm not even halfway through and it's cold! Same thing with cold drinks - it starts out cold, ends up room temp.

Just something to get used to, I guess.

Still loving eating mushy soup, even if it isn't hot.

(oh -- and just a FYI ... if you feel tempted to put gumbo in the food processor ... um, just don't. It sounded good at the time.)

I have the exact same problem, even with broth..gets cold fast...

You know at those fancy restraunts, sometimes they have the cold Soups....those might come in handy

This one's such an easy solution! Just get one of those coffee mug warmers. It's a little plug in device that keeps your cup warm that you can get at any drug store or on-line.

This one's even much more awesome than the old ones; it plugs right into your puter and is multi purpose.

Here is a great cold soup recipe that is yummy and very filling. I do use fat free sour cream instead of the real thing and it is just as good. I also leave out the garlic just because I don't like garlic. Enjoy

Jamaican Chilled Avocado Soup with Fresh Ginger and Lime Crema Recipe courtesy Emeril Lagasse, 2004Show: Emeril LiveEpisode: International Soups and Stews 1/4 cup butter

1 cup finely chopped onion

2 1/2 teaspoons fresh ginger, peeled and grated (about 1 ounce)

2 large ripe avocados, peeled and mashed

4 teaspoons fresh lime juice

1 1/2 cups chicken stock

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 green onion, finely chopped

1/2 cup half-and-half

Salt and freshly grated black pepper Lime Crema:

1/4 cup sour cream

2 teaspoons fresh lime juice

1/4 teaspoon minced garlic

1/4 teaspoon salt

Melt the butter in a saucepan and cook the onions for about 4 minutes, until softened. Add the ginger and continue to cook an additional 2 minutes. Add the avocado, lime juice, and chicken stock and whisk to combine. Simmer soup over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes. Add the green onion and transfer the soup to a blender and puree, in batches if necessary, until very smooth. Stir in the half-and-half and salt and pepper, to taste. Chill thoroughly before serving. To make the lime crema, stir together the sour cream, lime juice, garlic, and salt. When the soup has chilled, garnish each portion with a generous dollop of crema.

Thanks Kellye, My husband LOVES avocados (me not so much), however it looks yummy enough for me to try as well.

OHOOHOH! I'm going to have to try that!! I have been CRAVING guacamole and that sounds like it might calm the craving. OR, I'm just going to go to the mexican restaurant and get a bowl and a spoon!

This soup is great and very filling. It will stay with you longer than any other soup I have tried.
