Sunday lunch. From Golden Door in Escondido, California. This soup, from The Golden Door Cooks Light & Easy (Gibbs-Smith), is stocked with a gardenful of vegetables. Look for the brightest beta-carotene beauties — golden corn, sunny yellow peppers, and ripe yellow tomatoes. Because the produce is raw, you're not cooking away any vitamins.

Preparation
Cut kernels off cob. (You can eat fresh corn raw; it provides crunchiness.) In a large bowl, combine corn, tomatoes, onion, bell pepper, cucumber, broth, parsley, oil, salt, and black pepper. Cover and refrigerate 2 hours. Before serving, toast almonds (10 minutes in a 350°F oven). Serve soup cold and garnish with almonds and parsley.
