Berry Nice!

It's summer which means berries!!!  The nice thing about this recipe is that it's quick and easy to make and can be served right away.  It's great as either a light appetizer or a refreshing dessert. Or if you’re a berry soup lover like K2’s mom, just go ahead and eat it as your main course.  It’s summertime!  Eating rules are made to be broken.

Fresh Berry Soup

1 pint fresh orange juice*
1 cup vanilla yogurt
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup fresh sliced strawberries, puréed
1 1/2 tsp honey
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice (= juice from 1/2 large lemon)
1/8 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp nutmeg
1 pint fresh berries

*Instead of squeezing tons of fresh oranges, we used store-bought Not From Concentrate OJ.

Whisk together everything but the fresh berries. Put berries in the bottom of a bowl and pour the soup over. You can garnish with a dollop of whip cream or fresh mint leaves.

For your bowl bottom berries, raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries should be left whole, but you'll want to halve or quarter your strawberries (depending on their size) to make them more bite-sizable.

Mmmm, berries.
 
The recipe makes four 8 oz. servings (or eight 4 oz. if you're making it as an appeteaser).  It can easily be doubled for more.
 
And the soup is not really as pinky-orange as it appears in the photo (there were some technical difficulties in taking the photo, i.e., loaner camera because k2 dropped hers).  It's actually a nice pale orange, so please don't be turned off by the picture.
