Notes

  • Storage: If you have leftovers, store the soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It tastes great for up to two days.
  • Freezing: This soup is best enjoyed fresh, but you can freeze it in ice cube trays for a refreshing smoothie later.
  • Pairing: Serve this soup alongside a light salad or as a starter to a summer meal for a refreshing touch.
  • Garnishing options: Try adding mint leaves for a refreshing kick and a pop of color, along with the whipped cream.
  • Flavor variations: Experiment with other fruits like peaches or raspberries to create new flavor combinations.
