I found a wonderful and very easy recipe for a cold berry soup. It would be great as a first course and I bet it would even be good as a light dessert with some graham crackers or sugar cookies. It would be beautiful garnished with a strawberry fan. The recipe calls for fresh strawberries but I used frozen, thawed strawberries instead. I found the recipe on the Taste of Home website. The internet is a wonderful thing. You can find a recipe for anything. Of course, the trick is being able to read a recipe and know that it will actually be good. If I go to the trouble of cooking I want the food to be outstanding, not just okay. This one I think is outstanding.
Chilled Berry Soup
1 quart fresh strawberries, hulled
1/3 cup ginger ale
1/4 cup milk
1/3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream
Place strawberries in a food processor; cover and process until pureed. Add the ginger ale, milk, sugar, lemon juice and vanilla; cover and process until blended.
Pout into a large bowl; whisk in sour cram until smooth. Cover and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, about 2 hours. Yield: 4 servings
