Soup in the summer? You bet! Especially when we’re talking about Strawberry Soup. The first time I had strawberry soup was when I was a little girl. I remember going to my mom’s office for the day (always a treat!) and trying this interesting and delicious cold soup at lunchtime.  I’ve actually not had it since until very recently. I had every intention of making this recipe during strawberry season last year and I just didn’t get to it!

So, with the kickoff of the Dedham Farmer’s Market and what is sure to be a great selection of fresh local farm grown strawberries, I thought I’d whip up a batch of some strawberry soup.  This soup is a cold, creamy delight. I suppose you could serve it as a starter, but I think this soup is best served as a dessert.  Just think of the reaction of your friends and family if you filled some small plastic cups with strawberry soup and topped them off with a dollop of whipped cream and passed the tray around at your next summer get-together. They’re going to love it! It will be the talk of the party.
