Recipe: Blueberry Soup
Cold soups can be incredibly refreshing on a hot summer day, and they go well beyond gazpacho! In this Blueberry Soup, blueberries are cooked down with lemon juice and cardamom to concentrate their sweetness. The pureed blueberry mixture is paired with juicy mango puree, and a kick of Muscatel wine to create a dish with a striking, deep blue color. Serve this Blueberry Soup at your next summer luncheon, baby shower or dinner party — your guests will be intrigued!
