This is excellent and fairly easy but does take a bit of advance prep.
It's been quite hot here in So Cal and we've been eating "cold things" for
the past two weeks.
A pasta salad would also be good. Something like....Rotilli, tomatoes,
vinegrette, capers, garbanzo beans, fresh herbs, chicken, diced
chipotles....?

  2        Tablespoons  Sugar
  3               Cups  Chicken Broth
  3               Cups  Tomato juice ( I use one can tomato juice and one
can spicy V8)
  5             Medium  Tomatoes/ peeled and diced
  8                     Scallions or Green Onions
  1                     English cucumber
     1/2                Green bell pepper diced fine (I used 1 poblano)
1 Jalapeno, seeded and minced
1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice
Louisana Hot Pepper Sauce to taste

Mix vinegar, oil, salt, pepper and sugar in a glass.  Add to the tomato
juice and chicken broth. Remove most of the green from the scallions and one
outer layer. Slice into rounds. Peel, seed and chop the cucumber. Add vegies
to the soup (except green pepper). Refrigerate for at least 3 hours.  Before
serving add green pepper. Ladle into bowls and top with watercress.  Serve
