Cucumber-Dill Soup
A chilled soup is a great beginning for a picnic. For foolproof transport, select a container with a tight-fitting lid that permits easy serving. Fill with the soup, cap tightly, place upright in an ice chest, and secure in place with bags of ice or cool packs. To serve, pour the soup into widemouthed glasses or cups so that guests can sip it.
