Weekend Fare: Strawberry Soup

When I first learned about chilled, fruit soups, I was not inclined to give them a try. It was just too weird. However, my opinion has changed! They can be a delicious addition to brunch, a wonderful appetizer, or even a light dessert. I think this recipe would be perfect served in shooter glasses as an appetizer at a garden party. It's also super easy and great for weekend cooking!

  1. The idea of cold "summer" soups is still so foreign to me! I think I have a better time accepting them thinking of them as smoothies in a cup hehehe : P
