Cold Strawberry Jalapeno Soup

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.

• Ready In: 5 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 2  cups frozen strawberries
• 3⁄4 cup  light cream (I use 6% M.F.)
• 1 1⁄4 cups 1% low-fat milk
• 2  tablespoons  diced  fresh jalapeno peppers (remove seeds first)
• 1⁄2 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.
