Kari’s Organic Strawberry Peach Summer Soup

Ingredients:

2  organic peaches, peeled, pitted and cut into cubes

1 pint organic strawberries

1 ½ cups organic peach nectar or juice

2 TB lemon juice

¼ cup organic cane sugar (or sugar to taste)

Fresh mint sprigs (optional)

Preparation:

1.      In a blender or food processor, whirl strawberries, peach, peach nectar, and lemon juice until smooth. Taste and add sugar if desired.

2.     Pour soup into a container, cover, and chill until cold, at least 1 hour, or up to 1 day. To chill faster, nest container in a bowl of ice water and stir soup often until cold, about 30 minutes.

3.     Pour the soup into shallow bowls. Scatter fresh cut strawberries on top. Garnish with mint sprigs.

****The great thing about this recipe is the fact that it is so versatile.  You can substitute any kind of fruit you desire, just make sure your juice or nectar compliments your flavors (for example, using pear nectar for a pear/blueberry combination) and you are good to go.  Perfect for BBQ’s, summer dinner parties or anytime you crave summer flavors****
