Steps:
- Put all ingredients in a blender. Begin briefly on ice crusher mode to break up the strawberry and peas--I wouldn't go beyond 30-45 seconds.
- After frozen items are broken up, add the spices. Feel free to experiment with whatever flavors strike your fancy.
- Switch to pulse mode, and then alternate between pulse and blend until the drink is thick enough to suit.
- When done, pour soup into a bowl and garnish with flax seeds(they can be sprinkled on top, or mixed in thoroughly for an added crunch).
- The ingredient amounts are approximations, so feel free to add a little more of this or a little less of that if it seems necessary.
- If you want a more substantial soup, want increase fiber intake, or accidently added too much liquid, try adding a tablespoon or two of ground flax seeds during the pulse & blend stage.

This easy, summer, blender soup has a tex mex style. It's low calorie, healthy, and filling. The only fat comes from the yogurt. Has a spicy smoky flavor! Fat does help the body absord the nutrients.
