Chilled Strawberry Soup

Strawberry Soup? Sounds a bit strange, doesn't it?

I thought so too, at first, but after trying the strawberry soup, I was delighted.

It's a fantastic dessert for kids and adults alike and a great refreshing "goodie" during summer.

The best about this easy recipe is, it'll work with fresh and frozen strawberries!

No need to wait til strawberry season.
