This Summer Strawberry Shortcake Soup is a unique and refreshing twist on classic strawberry shortcake
Ingredients
- Fresh or Frozen Strawberries, hulled: 2 cups
- Unsweetened Pineapple Juice: 1 1/2 cups
- White Grape Juice: 1/2 cup
- Confectioners’ Sugar: 1/3 cup
- Moscato Wine or Additional White Grape Juice: 1/2 cup
- Sour Cream: 1/2 cup
- Individual Round Sponge Cakes: 6
- Whipped Cream: For serving
- Additional Strawberries, sliced: For garnish
Instructions
First, place the hulled strawberries in your blender. Cover and process until they are completely pureed. This creates the base of your soup. A smooth start.
Add the pineapple juice, white grape juice, and confectioners’ sugar to the blender. Cover and process again until everything is well combined and smooth. A flavorful blend.
Transfer the mixture to a bowl. Whisk in the Moscato wine (or additional white grape juice) and the sour cream until everything is well combined. A creamy finish.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours, or until thoroughly chilled. This allows the flavors to meld and the soup to thicken slightly. Patience is key.
Before serving, give the soup a good stir. The ingredients may have separated slightly during chilling. Recombine for consistency.
To serve, ladle the chilled soup into individual bowls or glasses. Place a sponge cake on top of each serving. Top with a dollop of whipped cream.
Garnish with sliced strawberries. This adds a beautiful finishing touch and extra fresh strawberry flavor. Enjoy!
