Chilled Strawberry Soup

Yes, you read that right.....STRAWBERRY SOUP! Oh, this soup is devine. I look forward to Summer every year to make this soup. Of course you can make it anytime, but using fresh strawberries makes it that much better.

I have to admit....this is not my original recipe. *sigh* But WHO CARES??? LOL I received the recipe from the gal who ran a sweet little Tea Room in a local Amish community before she closed the doors and retired. If the house was burning I would run back inside for my recipe boxes and make sure this recipe was included. :) Delicious....sweet.....creamy........*sigh*

Oh yes, on to the recipe!!!! Here it is:

Strawberry Soup

(this recipe makes about 1 gallon of soup......feel free to cut it down if needed. Or eat it all. LOL)

2 1.2 lbs sour cream
2 1/2 pounds frozen strawberries
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup vanilla (yes seriously........1/2 cup! LOL)
1/2 cup grenadine syrup
1 1/2 quarts half and half

Pour the first five ingredients in a blender and puree. Pour above mixture in a large container, add the half and half and stir. That's it! SIMPLE!!! Serve nice and cold.
