Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a blender, combine 3 cups hulled and halved fresh strawberries, 1/2 cup packed fresh basil leaves, 2 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice, and 1 cup cold water. Blend on high until completely smooth and vibrant in color.
  2. Step 2: Taste the soup and add a pinch of black pepper to enhance the flavors; blend again briefly to incorporate.
  3. Step 3: Chill the strawberry basil soup in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour until cold and slightly thickened.
  4. Step 4: Before serving, ladle the chilled soup into bowls and add a spoonful of 1/2 cup Greek yogurt in the center of each. Use a knife to swirl the yogurt gently into the soup for a marbled effect.
  5. Step 5: Garnish each bowl with fresh mint leaves and serve immediately for a light, refreshing starter or dessert.
