Hot In Little Rock

This summer seems to be hotter than others in recent memory.  Maybe it’s because we were pregnant – but we think everyone’s been feeling the drain of a heat index of 115.  Some days it is so hot that we just don’t even want to think about putting anything remotely warm in our mouth.

That’s where our love of cold soups has come into play more often than not this summer.  We’ve made some soups.  But usually we place our order with Sharea Wheeler, owner of Sharea Soups.

Over the past couple of years, we’ve watched Sharea launch a business based on one of her passions – soup.  She is a very accomplished chef in this arena, and offers different soups each week to her ever expanding list of faithful patrons.

We’ve had watermelon gazpacho, regular gazpacho, curried squash, cucumber, vichyssoise, summer borscht, and other cold soups that have kept us coming back for more.  Sharea operates out of a commercial kitchen at Historic Arkansas Museum.  Each week she sends an email to her list and tells about her offerings.  They usually include a cold soup, warm soup, and salad.  Each costs $12 per quart and that includes delivery!

It’s the easiest way we know to obtain fresh cold soup for these hot Arkansas days.  And each week we look forward to a new selection.  Just another way we’re working at staying cool these days.
