A Pink and A Green Soup

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!

Strawberry Soup

Fresh mint sprigs, optional

STEP 1. In a blender, combine all the ingredients but the whipped topping and mint and process until smooth.

STEP 2. Ladle the soup into bowls and top with a dollop of whipped topping.
