A few easy ingredients and this radish soup comes together quickly. Unpeeled cherry radishes are blended with buttermilk to create a light, yet creamy soup with a delicate pink blush. The spiciness and pungency of radishes is tempered by tangy buttermilk and rich crème fraîche. The soup turned out absolutely delightful. I used round "Cherry Belle", but the elongated "French Breakfast" is just as good. Serve this nourishing and wonderfully refreshing soup cold like a raw tomato gazpacho in summer for grilling and barbecue.

- Wash and clean radishes. Reserve 2 for the topping and thinly slice them. Set aside. Cut the rest into quarters. Place the quartered radishes in the cup of your immersion blender together with buttermilk. Blend until smooth.
- Add in lemon zest, juice, crème fraîche, agave syrup, Dijon mustard, and olive oil. Stir to mix well. Season with salt and pepper.
- Refrigerate the soup for several hours until well chilled. Divide the chilled soup between 2 bowls. Garnish the soups with reserved sliced radishes and herbs. Drizzle a little bit of olive oil over if desired.

Interesting soup. Something nice and chilled.
It is nice that you don't have to cook it, especially now that we are under this unholy heat wave, I'm just about to die from it. I'm cooking just 15 to 20 minutes meals this week to avoid hell in kitchen.
That looks nice Angie.
I love radishes so I'll be trying this.
This sounds delicious, especially for a summer night's dinner. I tried this Chilled Radish Soup for the first time. My children and I like them very much. I think chilled buttermilk would give it a fantastic flavour.
I never tried anything like this but it sure sounds delicious. Thanks for sharing your recipe!
Que buena tu sopa.
Los rabanitos me encantan!!

That really looks wonderful and we might have to try that one soon.
Nice very colorful
I've never made radish soup! Thought about it, often, but just haven't done it. Like this a lot -- will definitely make. Thanks!
I have never tried radish soup but the pictures are making me drool over it
I love some good chilled soup (Sometimes it's the only thing, along with watermelons, you can eat during the heatwaves.) I use radishes often as the addition to gazpacho or my favourite beet cold soup; however, I've never used them as the star ingredient. This looks and sounds utterly delicious and refreshing!
I eat a ton of radishes a week in my salads, this is the first time I found something else to do with them I will love! thanks!!
A cold soup, interesting.
This is so interesting -- and so pretty! A delightful and refreshing soup for summer. :-) ~Valentina
Me parece genial nunca he probado el rábano de esa forma. Te mando un beso y gracias por la receta
It is beautiful summer soup. Looks delicious.
This would make such a great starter soup for a fancy party
Questa ricetta deliziosa la rubo subito, grazie!!!!
I made chilled pea soup before, but never used radishes in soups as far as I can remember, so this is really interesting. I will try a vegan version of this. xx
Your recipes are always a great show, an explosion of intense color that invites you to eat!
Wow, what a wonderful summer soup, I love radishes, yummy!

Angie, Really different! Not quite in my wheelhouse but I'd give it a try. Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
I never tried it before!....it looks so good....ideal for these warm days!!......Abrazotes, Marcela
This is such a pretty soup. I am a fan of chilled soup, so I will be trying your recipe soon.
Yum
This is certainly a unique way to use radishes! And I'm dying to try it! Such a unique recipe. Thanks for posting this Angie.
I would have never thought to turn radishes into soup! What a delicious and refreshing idea!
I absolutely love radishes both fresh and roasted. I have never seen a recipe for a chilled radish soup, but I am trying this for sure. It sounds wonderful!
I always have millions of radishes in the fridge because I own two African giant snails and they eat radish leaves. Then I must eat the radishes lol. So it has been useful for me and I will try this recipe :-)
How much does this make? I would love to make this, but since my husband isn't a radish fan, it would be just for me who loves radish. From the looks of the recipe I would guess about 2 cups or 500 ml?
@mjskit Yes, just about that, slightly more than 2 portions.
I've been making chilled fruit soups to enjoy this summer, we will have to give your radish soup a try. It sounds really flavorful, Angie!!
