I like sharing recipes for specific gatherings in hopes that it will help you in the planning of your showers and parties. And this cold soup recipe is great for a bridesmaids luncheon, a spring ladies luncheon, or baby showers.
Its pretty pink color matches the décor, and it looks lovely served in a collection of vintage tea cups. Add it to your Mother’s Day brunch menu, too!
This soup has nutritional benefits too, as it’s made with fresh berries, and yogurt. You can sort of compare it to a smoothie although the consistency is not as thick and frothy.
Ingredient Notes
You only need 6 simple ingredients and a blender to make this recipe.
- Fresh raspberries. Fresh over frozen is important because you want the soup to be silky smooth, not frozen and slushy.
- Vanilla yogurt. This gives extra flavor compared to making it with plain yogurt. However, you could substitute with plain Greek yogurt and increase the vanilla and honey to taste.
- Orange juice. Make sure to use juice with no pulp.
- Honey. As a substitute you can use real maple syrup.
- Vanilla extract. Once you try this you may want to experiment with other flavored extracts such as almond or orange.
- Fresh mint. You’ll need a handful for the recipe, and extra for garnish. As a substitute you could use a few drops of mint extract.
Quick Tip
Substitute other berries such as blueberries, strawberries, or blackberries. Also try with fresh peaches.
How To Make It
You’ll add all the ingredients to a blender or food processor and let it do all the work. Then make sure you chill it in the refrigerator for at least two hours before serving.
Serving Suggestions for a Party
There are several ways you could serve this.
- Pour it into a mix and match set of vintage tea cups layered on coordinating plates.
- Sip it from small modern demitasse cups.
- Ladle it into small bowls and eat it with a spoon.
- Pour it into mini shot glasses if you’re not having a sit-down meal.
