“Only the pure of heart can make good soup.”  Beethoven

What can I do to get more fruit into my diet?

A bowl of soup with someone you love is better than steak with someone you hate. (Prov. 15:17, NLT)

Most people enjoy eating fruit.  I have encountered some folks who never eat fruit, but for most of us fruit is enjoyable.  Most people also like soup.  A number of years ago, I wanted a pretty, chilled soup that used fruit instead of vegetables.  I thought it would make a nice first course/appetizer for a dinner party.  

At the time I was teaching a cooking class so I needed to create the recipe with actual measurements and not “a little of this and a pinch of that.”  Having grown up on a busy, dairy farm, we never knew how many people would be eating a meal with us.  I started cooking when I was in elementary school by following my mother’s instructions of “add some of this and a handful of that.”  I rarely follow a recipe nor do I make a food the same way each time.  So, I had to actually measure and “create” this recipe.

This is a fun, easy soup to make.  It also looks pretty, and your family and guests will be impressed.  I have one friend who makes it often for her family.  So no need to wait for a special occasion.  Enjoy some “Fruit Soup” this evening.
