Cold carrot soup?

Would cold carrot soup be good? I have lots of carrots, and I would rather use them than buy other soup ingredients. And it's way too hot for hot soup. Thoughts?

I guess it's too late, but I make several cold carrot soups:
Spiced Carrot Soup, Chilled Carrot and Mango Soup, Honey Carrot Soup

Spiced Carrot Soup
1 cup chopped onion
1 1/2 teaspoons curry powder
3 1/2 cups chicken broth
4 cups sliced peeled carrots
1 cup sliced celery
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
1 bay leaf
1 cup milk (soy milk)
1 cup cottage (or parve sour cream)
Coat a heated saucepan with vegetable cooking spray and add onion and
curry. Sauté for 3 minutes to soften. Add chicken broth, carrots,
celery, cumin, hot pepper sauce and bay leaf. Simmer for 25 minutes or
until vegetables are tender. Remove from heat; discard bay leaf. Let
cool.
Process in a blender or food processor until smooth. Add milk and
cottage cheese and blend until smooth. Refrigerate. Serve in chilled
bowls.
Makes 6 servings.

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
450 g fresh mango
