Since I blogged on Monday about soup, I decided I might as well carry on the soup trend and blog about it on Pink and Green Thursday, as well. As hot as it still is, I thought you might enjoy some cold soups to try. For fun I listed some of the cooking tools you might need to make these soups. Enjoy!

1 cup orange juice
1 cup vanilla yogurt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Those soups sounds so delicious and I did not know up until reading this post that a strawberry huller was something that I absolutely positively needed to have!
ReplyDeleteThose soups sound out of this world! That strawberry soup needs to be made in my house asap lol! I eat a lot of strawberries, but I hate strawberry hullers. My great grandma taught me to stick a straw through the bottom and push the top out. the method may be crazy but works wonders.
