Strawberry Soup

Serves 4

Ingredients:

1 pint Fresh or Frozen Unsweetened Strawberries (About 2 cups)
1/2 cup Dry White Wine (or Apple Juice as a Non-Alcohol Substitute)
1 tsp. Lemon Rind; Finely Grated
1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
1 Tbs. Fresh Lemon Juice

Hull the strawberries if fresh. Wash, rinse, and dry. (If using frozen berries, thaw thoroughly and remove any excess liquid prior to preparation.) Slice 3 of the berries and set aside for use as garnish later. Place remaining berries in a blender or food processor. Add wine, lemon zest, sugar and lemon juice and puree until smooth. Pour into a bowl and refrigerate until well chilled. Serve in chilled soup bowls with garnish of reserved strawberry slices.
