Strawberry Soup with Crème Fraiche

Serves 2

• 1 cup Strawberries, hulled and quartered (plus 1 extra, sliced or chopped)
• ½ cup vanilla ice cream, softened
• ½ cup orange juice (or canned kiwi juice)
• Splash vanilla extract
• Pinch Kosher Salt
• Crème Fraiche (optional)
• Mint sprigs (optional)

1. In a blender, combine strawberries, softened ice cream, juice, vanilla, and salt and process until smooth and well combined.
2. At this point, you can return it to the fridge to chill some more, or serve right away.  If serving, transfer some of the soup to a bowl (this should make about 2 servings), and drizzle on about 1 tsp of the crème fraiche.  Add the chopped/sliced strawberry to the top and garnish with mint sprig (or, to change up the flavor – chop the mint and combine with the chopped strawberry before serving)
