Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries as ripe as you can find
  • 10 leaves fresh basil leaves dried will not cut it
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice fresh is best, but bottled works in a pinch
  • 2 tablespoons honey or any sweetener sugar is fine too
  • splash water for blending

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Toss all the strawberries in your blender with the basil leaves.
  2. Squeeze in the lemon juice, drizzle your favorite sweetener, and add a little water.
  3. Start blending on low, then increase the speed until smooth.
  4. Taste the mixture; if it’s too thick, add more water. If it's too tart, add more honey.
  5. For an extra cold treat, chill in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes, if time allows.
  6. Spoon the soup into bowls and garnish with a basil leaf or swirl of yogurt if desired.

Notes

If you have leftovers, keep in a tightly covered container in the fridge for a couple of days. Stir before serving, as it may separate.
