Cold Strawberry Jalapeno Soup

o0o0o's Note:

One of my favorite things in the summer. It's like a meal and dessert in one. The combination of jalapeno peppers and fruit isn't for everyone, but if you're the adventurous type, then this might just be the recipe for you.

• Total Time: 5 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 0 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 2 cups frozen strawberries
• ¾ cup light cream (I use 6% M.F.)
• 1 ¼ cups 1% low-fat milk
• 2 tablespoons diced fresh jalapeno peppers (remove seeds first)
• ½ cup sugar (or splenda)
• 1 pinch ground black pepper
• 2 teaspoons allspice
• 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
• mint leaf (to garnish)

Directions:

1. Put everything except for mint leaves into blender. Blend until smooth.
2. Taste, if you like it really tangy, you might want to add a little more balsamic vinegar.
3. Pour into bowls and garnish with mint leaves on top. Serve immediately.
4. Variation: Use 1 c frozen strawberries + 1 c frozen green grapes instead of 2 c frozen strawberries.
