Ingredients
Instructions
- Place raspberries in a bowl.
- Attach the bowl to the mixer with the flat beater.

- Add heavy cream, yogurt, honey, and orange juice.
- Mix on speed 2 for 1 minute until well combined.
- Refrigerate until the soup is well chilled.
Tips & Substitutions
For a smoother texture, blend the raspberries instead of mashing them. If you prefer a less sweet soup, reduce the honey or substitute it with agave syrup. You can also use Greek yogurt for a thicker consistency and a tangier flavor. For an added twist, consider incorporating a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon. Fresh mint leaves can also enhance the soup's freshness.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the cold raspberry yogurt soup in chilled bowls for an elegant touch. Garnish with fresh raspberry halves or a sprig of mint for added color. This dish pairs beautifully with *Pispilita With Leeks(Cornmeal Leeks Casserole) or a light salad for a refreshing meal. It also makes a great appetizer or dessert on warm days.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The soup may thicken as it chills, so give it a gentle stir before serving. Avoid freezing, as the texture may change once thawed. To enjoy it cold again, simply serve straight from the fridge without reheating.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other fruits instead of raspberries?
Yes, you can substitute other berries like strawberries, blueberries, or blackberries based on your preference. Each fruit will bring its unique flavor to the soup, so feel free to experiment with combinations for a delightful twist.
Is this soup suitable for a vegan diet?

How can I make this soup sweeter?
