CHILLED FRUIT SOUP
Steps:
- In a large saucepan, combine fruit, water, lemon juice, Splenda, nutmeg, cinnamon stick, and salt. Cover and simmer 10 minutes. Discard cinnamon stick. Pour fruit mixture into a blender or food processor. Process until smooth. Pour into a large bowl. Cover. Refrigerate to chill. To serve, stir yogurt into fruit mixture until smooth. Pour into individual bowls or serve in a chilled soup tureen. Garnish with lemon slices.
Tips:
- Choose ripe, flavorful fruits: The quality of your fruit will greatly impact the flavor of your soup. Opt for ripe, in-season fruits that are bursting with flavor.
- Use a variety of fruits: Don't be afraid to mix and match different fruits to create a unique and delicious soup. Some popular combinations include berries, melons, citrus fruits, and tropical fruits.
- Sweeten to taste: If your fruit is not sweet enough, you can add a bit of honey, sugar, or other sweetener to taste. However, be careful not to overdo it, as you don't want your soup to be too sweet.
- Chill thoroughly: Chilled fruit soup is best served cold, so make sure to chill it for at least 2 hours before serving. You can also chill it overnight for even better flavor.
- Garnish with fresh herbs or fruit: Before serving, garnish your soup with fresh herbs like mint or basil, or with additional pieces of fruit. This will add a pop of color and flavor to your soup.
