The first time I ever tried strawberry soup was at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas and it was wonderful. This is a great recipe and makes good use of your garden fresh or store bought strawberries. Serve this at a luncheon, brunch or tea.

Ingredients

2 cups fresh strawberries or 2 10-ounce packages frozen
1-1/2 cups water
3/4 cups sugar
1 cup cranberry juice
8 ounce strawberry yogurt
mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

1. Blend 1/2 cup water and berries until smooth. Save 9 whole berries for garnish.

4. Refrigerate until cold, about 2 hours.
