Ingredients

1 pint strawberries, cleaned and hulls removed

1 cup sour cream

sugar to your taste (it all depends on how sweet you berries are)

3 tablespoons brandy

2 cups liquid coffee creamer

8 additional strawberries, cleaned and cut in half, for garnish

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)

Whipped cream, optional

Directions

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.=)

Krumkake, thanks for this recipe. My brother lives north of Los Angeles where they grow strawberries. He's coming down for a visit and bringing me a flat of berries! I never know what to do with them all but this year, thanks to your recipe, I'll be making your "soup!" Thanks so much! This recipe is another winner!
