3 tablespoons syrup from maple trees
07 -

→ Toppings
11 -
1 tablespoon diced strawberries for each bowl
12 -
Mint leaves cut into thin strips
13 -
Black pepper ground fresh on top
14 -
A splash of heavy cream or warmed up yogurt
15 -
1 tablespoon bourbon for each serving (if you want)
# Steps:
01 -
Throw strawberries, mint, milk, yogurt, orange juice, maple syrup, cinnamon, vanilla, salt, and pepper into your blender. Run it until everything's smooth and thick, which takes about 2-3 minutes.
02 -
Pour the mixture into a container with a lid and stick it in the fridge for 2-3 hours until it's totally cold.
03 -
Pour the cold soup into bowls. Top each one with chopped strawberries, thin mint slices, a bit of black pepper, and some swirled cream or yogurt. Pour in bourbon if you're feeling fancy.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
This soup isn't cooked so it won't last long. Keep it cold and eat it within 2 days.
02 -
You might need more or less sweetener depending on how sweet your strawberries are. Brown sugar works great instead of maple syrup.
03 -
The black pepper makes the strawberry taste pop and brings out their sweetness - don't leave it out.
