[Sca-cooks] light, summer soup

[clarissa]

I am cooking for a hot July event (95-110) and all my period cook books
are presently packed up due to moving. Can someone suggest a period light
soup that would be good for a hot summer early evening? I had originally
hoped to do a period Italian feast but that was before the outdoor only
site was chosen. I am going to do 2 types of cold roasts with herb sauces
(italian or french), pickled cucumbers and onions (sca recipe - unknown
origin), a cheese relish (middle eastern), a veggie pie (haven't decided
yet), cold fruit and bread all served in one course. Any suggestions
would be appreciated. I don't expect folks to eat a lot because of the
heat and I am only presently cooking for 75.

Thanks,
Clarissa
