In preparation for a Bridesmaids' Luncheon I am hosting in July, I have been testing my menu possibilities on my family. Yesterday for Sunday lunch I served a cold (or chilled) zucchini soup. Everyone had their recommendations for the temperatue that this soup should be served. I drew the line on this soup being heated, after all it was a soup to be served on a hot day. So my final dilemma was not on the temperature of the soup, but how was I to list it on the menu card, cold or chilled?

4 medium zucchini,quartered and sliced
5 cups of chicken broth
1 bunch of green onions
