What is the category of soup that is cold?

Like there are bisques and other kinds of soup, what kind is cold?

I’m sorry, I only know cold soups to be known as “cold soups” UNLESS you would like the French expression, which is “Potages Froids” [pronounced “Po-taj Fwah”]. There are many: I usually don’t provide any recipes, because I have a tendency to go off on a tangent to provide recipes for the preparation for some of the ingredients. This is the ONLY reason why I don’t provide recipes.

You can find those easy enough on the web.

Here are a few of my favorites - BTW all of them should be served in chilled (kept in the refrigerator) soup bowls:
Vichyssoise: cold potato and cream soup with thinly sliced chives on the surface.

AND/OR Gazpacho a cold vegetable soup, garnished with peeled, seeded cucumbers

AND/OR Cold Fruit Soup made from different berries and fruits with just a hint of a favorite liqueur.

AND/OR Cold Cucumber Soup: crescents of peeled and seeded cucumbers in a sugar and vinegar brine, giving it a sweet and sour flavor.
Garnished with a very thin slice of onion and sweet, red pepper.

AND/OR Borscht - cold with a dollop (a small amount) of sour cream.

AND/OR Jellied Consommé - made with reduced or simmered-down meat stock.

Thank you for asking your question. You did a great job - not only for your information, but for every other person interested in reading a sensible, qualified answer - my answer.

TYVM!

I wish you well!

VTY,
