The papaya for this soup must be ripe for best flavor, so try this in the spring when both papaya and strawberries are in season.

Ingredients

  • ½ medium-size ripe papaya
  • 2½ Tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 tsp minced fresh ginger
  • White grape juice concentrate to taste
  • 4 large ripe strawberries, rinsed, hulled, and sliced

Instructions

  1. Using a spoon, scoop out and discard black seeds from papaya. Scoop out the flesh and place in bowl of food processor or blender. Add lime juice and ginger and puree until smooth. Sweeten with juice concentrate if desired.
  2. Pour soup into serving bowl; arrange sliced strawberries in center. Serve cold.

Serves 1.
