PUBLISHED ON: 03.31.2014

We often associate soup with cold weather comfort.  Soup provides warm weather comfort too.  A chilled berry soup is often refreshing and light with a hint of sweetness that can be very satisyfying during the warm months without being heavy and hot.

Strawberries are at their peak in Florida and there is no resisting using fresh ripe strawberries to create a light summer soup.

This chilled strawberry soup is a snap to prepare by combining the strawberries, yogurt, orange juice and vanilla extract in your blender.  With a dollop of whipped toping and mint sprigs, you can call this soup simple and elegant.
