Strawberry Soup Recipe

Strawberry Soup Recipe

Strawberry Soup is a delicious mixture of pureed strawberries, sugar, yogurt, and cream. This soup is very similar to what we would now call a Smoothie, although when my mother-in-law gave me this recipe over 30 years ago, Smoothies were not even invented. I guess she was a little ahead of her time. Make this dessert soup when you have an abundance of delicious tasting strawberries, preferably ones you have picked yourself at your local u-pick strawberry farm. 

 

Most of the strawberry soup recipes you find in cookbooks contain some type of wine. These soups are delicious, the only problem is children do not usually like the taste of alcohol. So for them, this creamy strawberry soup is perfect. It is sweet with the flavor of strawberries and rich and creamy in texture. You can adjust the creaminess of the soup by using whole cream instead of milk and sour cream (or creme fraiche) instead of yogurt. If you like add a squeeze or two of fresh lime juice which adds a delightful tangy flavor. You can also take extra strawberries, cut them into bite sized pieces, and add them to the soup for more texture. Sometimes I even like to add some fresh raspberries for a delicious jolt of flavor. It is better to make this soup several hours in advance so it has sufficient time to chill but wait till serving time to garnish with the whipped cream.
 

Strawberry Soup: Wash and cut the strawberries and place in your food processor.  Process until the strawberries are pureed.  Add the sugar, yogurt, milk, and lime juice and process until combined.  Adjust the ingredients as necessary. If not serving immediately, cover and refrigerate.

Ladle the strawberry soup into dessert bowls and garnish with a dollop of whipped cream.

Makes 4 servings.
