Strawberry Soup - Appetizer or Dessert

While cold fruit soup is traditionally served as a first course,

it also makes for a wonderful dessert as it is

light and refreshing.

I first had this soup at a church luncheon years

ago and just had to have the recipe.  My neighbor

Sally willingly shared the recipe.  I love people who

share their recipes, obviously as bloggers, we are always

sharing ours.

Strawberry Soup Recipe

24 oz. sweetened frozen strawberries, thawed

2 C. sour cream

1 1/3 C. cold water

2 T. lemon juice

In a blender or food processor puree the thawed strawberries

until smooth.  Add the sour cream and blend it in.  Place

the mixture into a large bowl and stir in the water and lemon

juice.  Serve cold.  Garnish with whipped cream and

fresh strawberries if desired.

(Serve it with or without whipped cream as a garnish.)

(This is how I served it the other day for a luncheon.)

The first time I made Strawberry Soup was when I

was visiting my sister Jean in California and I made

it as an appetizer for her family.  I think I rose to favorite

aunt status that day (at least for a little while!)  It has been

a family favorite since then - so glad I asked for the recipe!

I will be posting this with
