Strawberry Soup

-

Some of you had commented how you LOVE cold soups when I posted the Rasberry Soup. I remembered a strawberry one that I first tasted a few years ago when my sisters and I had a birthday tea for my Mom. It is super yummy, creamy, and always well received.

Here it is:
1 quart strawberries, cap removed and washed
1/3 cup ginger ale or sierra mist
¼ cup milk
1/3 cup sugar
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup sour cream

Place all ingredients in a blender or food processor and process until smooth. Enjoy!

Be Blessed!

    What a cool idea Martha! I am not sure if I have ever had a chilled soup before, but I have always been intrigued by them. The strawberry soup is so pretty.

    I really am digging the combination of strawberries, sour cream and the ginger ale. That sounds great :D

    I also wanted to thank you for linking up to the Summer Cookout link party at my blog. If you have any other entries you would like to submit please don't be shy.

    Have a great weekend and a happy 4th of July!

    I love strawberry soup! I made it last summer and I was amazed how neat it was. The kids even took to it. Yours is beautiful. Thanks for posting this on Home Sweet Home and have a great 4th weekend!

    I've never had a cold soup before. However, this sounds really tasty. I'm going to have to try it one of these days! :)

Creamy Finger Jello

-
Image
I was asked to bring finger Jello to serve with a hot lunch us room Mom's were serving to Serena's classroom at school. Jello isn't something I typically serve,but I have about 2 or 3 recipes using Jello that I make about once in a blue moon. One reason I make this one is because it isn't a typical, plain finger Jello. But also because it looks like a two step process when it really isn't. Everything is mixed as one and it separates as it sets. And the cream adds a good flavor. 2 large boxes Jello 4 packages plain gelatin 4½ cups boiling water ¼ cup cold water 1 cup heavy cream Combine the Jello and gelatin and whisk together. Add the boiling water and whisk until Jello is dissolved. Add the remaining ingredients and stir. Pour into a lightly greased (this helps to remove from the pan in a cleaner cut, spray the pan then wipe it down with a paper towel) glass 9 X 13 pan. Cover and chill till firm. Cut into desired shapes or squares and serve.

Seasoned Pretzels

These pretzels have been around the block and back again, but they  really are  such an easy snack and they go well as an appetizer too. They are simple and require no baking which in my opinion is a definite plus! 18 ounces pretzel twists ½ cup olive oil 1 envelope original Hidden Valley Ranch Mix 1 teaspoon dill weed ½ teaspoon garlic powder Pour pretzels into a large bowl. In a smaller bowl combine oil and seasonings and mix well with a whisk. Pour over pretzels and toss to coat. Allow to rest at room temperature, stirring every now and then to coat again, until oil and seasonings are gone from the bottom over the bowl. Pretzels are ready to serve when they look dry again. Be Blessed!

Rice Krispy Rollups

Here is another chocolate and peanut butter concoction that is totally irresistible and so easy to make. I sometimes make these instead of cookies if  I'm not in the baking mood. The only trouble is they never last long. Here's what you'll need: ¼ cup butter, melted 10½ ounces mini marshmallows 5½ cups Rice Krispies 1½ cups milk chocolate chips ½ cup peanut butter Melt butter in a 6 quart kettle, add marshmallows. Melt completely over low heat. Add the Rice Krispies. Mix well. Spread evenly into a greased 10½ x 15½ baking sheet. In a microwave safe bowl combine chocolate chips and peanut butter.  Melt at 1 minute intervals until completely melted, stirring after each minute. Spread on top of Rice Krispy mixture. Let set in a cool place till chocolate mixture sets up. Be careful not to let the chocolate get too hard, it will not make a neat roll if you do. Loosen all around with a metal spatula. Roll, starting on
