Ingredients
- 3 ½- 4 C sliced strawberries
- 1 C whole milk
- 1 C cream
- 10.6 oz. plain Greek yogurt
- 1 C sparkling white grape juice
- ¼ teaspoon ginger
- Extra strawberries and mint as garnish.
- *You might need to add a tablespoon or 2 of sugar if the strawberries are out of season. Taste before chilling and adjust accordingly.
Instructions
- In a blender or food processor, puree sliced strawberries until completely smooth.
- Add milk, cream, and yogurt, blending after each until smooth.
- Add ginger. Blend once more.
- Chill for at least one hour.
- Remove from refrigerator, slowly add sparkling white grape juice. Fold the juice into the soup to fully incorporate it without losing the carbonation.
- Pour into soup tureen or into a pretty pitcher to serve.
- Serve with sliced strawberries and chopped mint.
Notes
-
- The sparkling grape juice starts to lose its carbonation as soon as it's poured into the soup, so have your garnishes prepped and only complete this step right before you intend to serve your strawberry soup.
-
- You might need to add a tablespoon or 2 of sugar or sweetener if the strawberries are out of season. Keeping in mind that the grape juice does add some sweetness, taste the soup before chilling and add what you need.
-
- Freeze dried strawberries really amp up the strawberry flavor without upsetting the balance of liquid ingredients. To add these, grind them to a powder in the food processor and stir it into the soup. This is especially effective if you're making the soup the day before.
- Don't skip the mint. It's not only pretty, it adds to the refreshing experience of the soup.
