Ingredients
Instructions

- To serve, pour 1/2 cup of the soup into each of 5 bowls.

Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider using Greek yogurt instead of regular yogurt. You can also adjust the sweetness by using honey or agave syrup in place of sugar. If fresh peaches or strawberries are not available, frozen fruit works well; just thaw them beforehand. Adding a pinch of salt can enhance the flavor profile. For an extra flavor kick, try incorporating a splash of vanilla extract.
Serving Suggestions
This refreshing soup pairs beautifully with light, crusty bread or a side salad for a delightful summer meal. Consider serving it with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of sorbet for added indulgence. For a more adventurous twist, try serving it alongside savory dishes like grilled chicken or fish, which can balance the sweetness.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The flavors will meld and improve over time. If you find the soup too thick after chilling, you can add a bit of cold water or more yogurt to reach your desired consistency. Avoid freezing, as the texture may change upon thawing.
