beating the heat with soup


It has been very hot all week so today I decided to try something a little different for lunch. I made a cold mango papaya soup. The ingredients list was simple... mango, papaya, vanilla ice cream (I used soy ice cream), and maple syrup. I cut the fruit up into tiny pieces and threw it into the blender making a puree, then I added the ice cream (I added a bit too much ice cream) and a little bit of maple syrup to sweeten the soup. It was very light and refreshing, but as I added too much ice cream it wasn't as flavorful as I would have liked. All in all though it was pretty good and I feel it was excellent as a first attempt at cold soup.
