I love soup. Hot soup that warms you to the bone, so I was somewhat skeptical of cold strawberry soup. I was pleasantly surprised. The more it chilled the better it tasted. This would be such a great first course to a brunch or could be served as a dessert with a dollop of cream. You really only can eat a small amount. I love the touch of cloves (and I mean a touch). It can be very powerful.
1 cup apple juice
1 cup water, divided
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp. ground cloves
2 cups fresh strawberries
2 cartons (8 oz. each) strawberry yogurt
2 drops red food coloring (optional)
Additional strawberry halves for garnish
In saucepan, combine the apple juice, 3/4 cup water, sugar, cinnamon and cloves; bring to a boil over medium heat. Remove from the heat: cool. Place strawberries and remaining water in a blender or food processor; cover and process until smooth. Pour into a large bowl.
Add apple juice mixture, yogurt and food coloring if desired. Cover and refrigerate until well chilled. Garnish with additional strawberries.
Yield 6-8 servings

YUMMY...I like that we can print this recipe too. Thanks for sharing. Please add my link or button for the newbie party.
This looks so refreshing and delicious. I think I'll try this in a few weeks when the local strawberries will be ripe.
