Servings:8 as a first course
Showcase summer’s delicious bounty with a chilled buttermilk soup loaded with in-season vegetables and flavored with aromatic dill. This soup makes a great starter for just about anything you’re putting on the grill for dinner tonight. If you have sweet, tender farm-fresh corn, use it raw. If your corn is a little starchy, blanch the ears in boiling water before cutting off the kernels.

Serve the soup in chilled bowls, garnished with dill.
Some toasty grilled bread makes a great side, and for even more fresh summer flavor, serve withTomatoes and Burrata with Tapenade.
Try adding other herbs to the soup—basil or flat-leaf parsley would be particularly nice.

UACook| 07/23/2013This is very similar to a Russian summer soup "okroshka", which also had smashed boiled potatoes and chopped radishes

Looks good but I guess I just don't care for buttermilk and fennel. I will not make again.

My house doesn't have air conditioning and this soup was a perfect solution to hunger on a hot summer day. my only small complaint was that all the components in the soup seemed separate rather than married. Either way it was a perfect soup for any hot summer day!
