Strawberry Soup For A Hot Summer Day

- - to make
- Serves 4
Now that strawberries are in full swing around here, I pulled out this old recipe my mother made for us when she still lived in MN and we were visiting. I remember it was a hot summer day, and she had chilled this overnight, so it was cold and delicious and refreshing. Read more I hope to make it soon so I can post a picture of this pretty summer side dish. See less
Ingredients
- 1 pint strawberries, cleaned and hulls removed shopping list
- 1 cup sour cream shopping list
- sugar to your taste (it all depends on how sweet you berries are) shopping list
- 3 tablespoons brandy shopping list
- 2 cups liquid coffee creamer shopping list
- 8 additional strawberries, cleaned and cut in half, for garnish shopping list
- chocolate syrup (not hot fudge sauce - it is too thick...you just need a "runny" chocolate sauce that you can drizzle over the soup just before serving) shopping list
- whipped cream, optional shopping list
How to make it
- In a blender, chop cleaned strawberries into fine pieces.
- Add sour cream, sugar and brandy; blend until smooth.
- Add coffee cream and blend just until mixed in.
- Pour into container, cover and chill well before serving.
- To serve, pour the "soup" into small bowls, float 4 strawberry halves on top and drizzle quickly with a small amount of chocolate sauce.
- For a "special effect", put a couple dollops of whipped cream around the outer edges of the "soup" (or use the canned whipped cream and create a couple swirls of it on top of the soup)
- NOTE: When my mother made this, there wasn't the variety of liquid coffee creamer flavors we now have in the refrigerated section of the market. I am going to experiment with some flavored creamers, like Vanilla, or Hazelnut - see what you come up with!

I love the sound of this. I will have to try it with some homemade cookies instead of saltine crackers.=)
