Summer Comfort Food for Muggy, Rainy days
It's monsoon season where I live, and I'm on the hunt for comforting - but still summery! - dishes. I'd love any recommendations for breakfast, lunch, and/or dinner - thank you!
(P.S. Ratatouille is already a reliable, much-loved and repeated staple in my kitchen).

We consume a lot of fresh herbs and vegetables, with these and many of our meals.
Savoury, like the well known red gazpacho. Also there are white and green versions. Another savoury one is borscht - the best ones to serve cold (with optional sour cream or yogurt garnish) are meatless. (The meat ones are better served hot.)
Sweet ones from the Hungarian cuisine. Lots of fruit flavours. I remember cherry and plum versions as very nice. Many have a glug if dry white wine added, and/or are served with cold white wine.
These soups are often served as an appetizer. Or could be serve in larger portions as part of a light lunch.
Many recipes out there.
There are also many recipes for cold fruit soup in Scandinavian countries.
