with the beautiful bounty of berries around these days, i loved the idea of making a cool berry soup. what better, too, than blending up a bushel of blueberries with all of their well-known antioxidants and health properties. mix in some easy honey, mint, a dash of cinnamon, and some dairy-free coconut milk, and you have a lovely, jewel-toned, cool, perfectly sweet soup.
this chilled blueberry soup with mint is one of those dishes that would really fit any time of day. honestly, i ate it with breakfast this morning. but how pretty would it be on a high tea buffet or a sweet amuse-bouche served in a little demitasse cup…
this chilled blueberry soup with mint is a brilliant way to use those beautiful and healthy berries... the best summer starter soup around! Click To Tweet
