I was driving home from work yesterday and thought - what about making a fruit- based soup? Tomato is a fruit, and I love tomato soup. What about strawberries? So last night I looked on the internet for recipes, but I found "strawberry soup" recipes that are basically fruit smoothies in a bowl- not exactly what I was looking for. I wanted to try something hot- like a traditional soup, not a gazpacho or a chilled smoothie. So I made up my own recipe and it was wonderful. I am thinking of trying more fruit soups inthe future. So far this one is my favorite. . . out of the one I have tried.
Strawberry Soup:
-----------------------
*10 fresh (or frozen-thawed) strawberries
*2C skim milk
*1C water
*1/4C Parmesan cheese
*2T lemon juice
1tsp salt
*3T sour cream
1/8C Finely shredded extra sharp cheddar
3T olive oil
2 tsp honey
Finely blend ingredients with *
Place over low-medium heat (do not boil). Add remaining ingredients and stir often. Let soup barely simmer-not boil- for 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and enjoy!
It was a big hit in the Bush household! Gone fast! Yum!

Creative, glad it turned out well. I have had strawberry soup before but it was more like the kind youmentioned first, chilled and creamy.
Interesting. I can say I've never even thought of doing that :)
Looks and sounds pretty yummy though!
