spring or summer soups? or any light spring?!?

I have three little girls and they are starting to get bored with the typical family meal I prepare (my middle child is really picky too lol). Does anyone have any good spring / summer soup recipes? or something fun and light can do for lunch and dinner? thanks in advance!

I'm not sure if you're vegetarian or not, so I will list different options. I'm not going to cut and paste recipes sites such as Allison did G but in a vain attempt to get 10 points … lol!
