Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 g strawberries
- 200 g raspberries
- 250 ml cranberry juice
- 100 ml orange juice
- 2 tbsp honey
- 125 ml water
- 0.5 tsp lemon zest
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 6 leaves mint leaves (for garnish)
- 2 tbsp fresh cream or Greek yogurt (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash the strawberries and raspberries under cold water, then pat them dry with a clean towel. Hull the strawberries and cut them into halves if they are large.
In a medium saucepan, combine the cranberry juice, water, honey, and lemon zest. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally until the honey is fully dissolved. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a blender, add the strawberries, raspberries, orange juice, vanilla extract, and the cooled cranberry juice mixture. Blend on high speed until smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
Strain the blended mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl to remove any seeds and create a silky consistency. Use the back of a spoon to press the liquid through the sieve, discarding any solids left behind.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the soup for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and for the soup to chill completely.
Before serving, taste the soup and adjust the sweetness with an additional teaspoon of honey if needed.
Pour the chilled soup into bowls or shallow glasses. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and a dollop of fresh cream or Greek yogurt if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing Rosy Berry Soup!
