It's a soup, it's a dessert, it's a fruity, chilled-out refresher to end a meal. June is strawberry season -- time to eat bowls of berries and cream and to bake some biscuits for shortcake. Try something new, with this recipe for strawberry and lavender soup, from blogger twohelmets, who adds the crisp Portuguese wine vinho verde (literally, "green wine") to give it sparkle. Add a pinch of lavender, a bay leaf and then garnish each bowl with a basil leaf, for an undertone of herbs.
Gazpacho also goes berry-licious and minty in this recipe from Kitchen Daily.

6-03-2010 @7:35PM sam said... damn y'all...is the heat getting to you guys or what? SUCH hostility. For those who do not like strawberries, I am reasonably sure that you could substitute what you do like...I personally love raspberries but blue berries, black berries, raspberries...what difference does it make? Substitute what you like or what you have in the frig...it would probably still be good...just different.

6-04-2010 @1:57PM Nanette said... Guillermina: It's true that if you O.D. on the lavender it tastes like soap, but there's a subtle, floral flavor I think you'd like. Try it in small doses with roasted chicken, or with sweets that contain lemon. It goes especially well with citrus. Theses cookies are worth a shot. http://www.kitchendaily.com/recipe/lemon-lavender-cookies-147716. Let me know what you think. --Nanette
6-03-2010 @8:36PM t said... use apple juice meanvee, it works the same as wine. as for all you mean people, don't leave a comment unless you have something nice to say, who cares what who likes, they are just asking a question. mellow out, for you that don't like strawberries, get creative and figure it out on your own.

6-03-2010 @8:45PM Kaye said... Geegee, meanvee was only making a comment on here so that they could do their advertising after they made the comment. They need to do that elsewhere, not in the posts. Like you said...why wold they bother to make the soup if they don't like what is in it. Oh...forgot...in order to promote their advertising!!

I don't even know why I bother to read the comments..... people are either rude..... slyly trying to add some type of advertisement, or just commenting about how bad the writer spells, how dumb the article is, how dumb a poster is, it's like.... WTF? I guess it's the eternal optimist in me thinking if I keep reading I'll find something relevant, or nice... thank you to those of you who have the decency to add something to the post rather than diminishing the experience for the rest of us.....
