Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh strawberries
- 1 whole jalapeno pepper
- 1 medium cucumber
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 120 ml plain yogurt
- 60 ml water
- 10 leaves mint leaves
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 leaves extra mint leaves
Instructions
Wash the strawberries thoroughly, hull them, and cut them in half.
Slice the jalapeno in half, remove the seeds and membrane for a milder heat, and chop it finely.
Peel the cucumber, slice it in half lengthwise, remove the seeds with a spoon, and chop it into small pieces.
In a blender, combine the strawberries, jalapeno, cucumber, lime juice, honey, plain yogurt, water, mint leaves, salt, and black pepper.
Blend the ingredients on high speed until smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning by adding more salt, honey, or lime juice to your preference.
Transfer the soup to a sealed container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to chill thoroughly.
Before serving, give the soup a quick stir and pour it into bowls or glasses.
Garnish each serving with a mint leaf for presentation, and optionally, an additional thin slice of jalapeno for more heat.
