Strawberry Soup

When I was growing up, my Mom began a tradition in our family of allowing the birthday child to have a say in their birthday dinner. This was a tradition that I loved and carried on with my family. This recipe for Strawberry Soup was a favorite of my sons when he was a child, and was always requested. It is quickly prepared in the blender, and it is so good as a first course or as a light dessert. I do hope you will give it a try, blessings...

Recipe:

1 pint strawberries, 2 cups
1/2 cup white wine
1 tsp. lemon zest
1/2 cup sugar
2 tbsps. fresh lemon juice

1. Wash and hull strawberries; set 3 aside for garnish, if desired.
2. Place all ingredients in blender; cover and blend for about 1 minute. Scrape down   sides of container, if necessary, and blend a little longer to make sure mixture is smooth.
3. Cover and refrigerate until soup is well chilled.
4. Serve soup in small bowls garnished with sliced reserved berries, if desired.

Yield: 2 2/3 cups or about 3 servings
