Berry Soup (Cold)


Berry Soup (Cold)
(4-servings)


Ingredients:

1 ½ cups Fresh Raspberries
1 ½ cups Fresh Strawberries, quartered
1 ½ cups Water
¾ cup Dry Red Wine (or Cranberry Juice)
2 tbsp. Sugar
½ cup Half & Half
as garnish, Fresh Mint Leaves

Directions:

In a large sauce pan over medium heat bring raspberries, strawberries, water, wine and sugar to a boil.  Reduce heat and simmer covered until berries are tender (5-8 minutes).  Remove from heat and let cool.  Using a food processor or blender, process the soup mixture until smooth.  Strain the mixture into an appropriate sized bowl discarding seeds and refrigerate at least 3 to 4 hours before serving.  Portion the soup, garnish with a few mint leaves and serve.

Note:               If fresh berries are not in season, you could use unsweetened frozen berries for this soup.
