In summer, this is especially noticeable: less fatty, dense, sweet. Cold soup is prepared in water, and a drop of soy sauce adds density to it. Summer food must be sour, so that you want to drink less after it. Bitter tastes are also a must: this is good for the liver, which has a hard time in the heat. Cold eggplant soup is just what the Chinese doctor ordered, even when it's over thirty outside.
