Easy Strawberry Soup

Strawberry Soup is lightly sweet, rich, thick, and just makes your tongue wanna dance! It’s like a Strawberry Smoothie, only better.

There is a restaurant in Disney World located in the Grand Floridian Resort whose specialty is Strawberry Soup. This is the stuff of legends and the legend is so big that it has reached all the way to North Alabama.

Now on our recent trip to Disney, we did not stay in the Grand Floridian. We DID, however, eat at 1900 Park Fare (free, as a matter of fact, but I’ll talk about how we did that in an upcoming post).

The Best Strawberry Soup

When I told Mama we were going to eat at 1900 Park Fare she said “Oh! Are you gonna have the strawberry soup?”. I got the same question from two other people so I got to thinking that you might like to have this recipe in your neck of the woods as well.

Most people don’t realize that Disney gives out any recipe served in their restaurants if you ask for it. In fact, many of the standards are already pre-printed on cards to hand out whenever someone requests them. If you ask for a recipe that is not immediately handy, they take your email or mailing address and the chef will get it to you. So I got the recipe (it is also several places on the internet) and I tweaked the ingredients and recipe itself to make it a little less fussy.

Strawberry Soup is lightly sweet, rich, thick, and just makes your tongue wanna dance. It’s sort of like a Strawberry Smoothie, only better – and prettier. 🙂

What You’ll Need to Make Strawberry Soup:

Ingredients:

• Frozen sliced sweetened strawberries (thawed)
• Heavy Whipping Cream
• Sour Cream 
  • You can use lite sour cream if you prefer!

Tweaks From the Original

The original recipe was in ounces, which is something most of us aren’t used to, so I translated it into our usual cooking measurements. It also was a little too fussy for my taste, so I made it a little lower maintenance for us, too. 

How to Make Strawberry Soup:

Place your thawed strawberries in a blender. Add your sour cream.

**If you’re looking for an upgrade blender pick, check out this Blendtec Blender! 

Pour in your whipping cream.

Blend until smooth and thick.

Now you’re done. Seriously so easy!

Serve your guests and don’t tell them how easy it was!

How to Store Strawberry Soup:

Storing strawberry soup properly is crucial to maintain its freshness and flavor. Here’s how you can store it:

1. Refrigeration: If you’ve made a plan to eat your soup in the next couple days, refrigeration is the best option. Transfer the soup to an airtight container. Seal the container tightly and place it in the refrigerator. Consume within 3-4 days for optimal freshness.
2. Freezing: If you want to store strawberry soup for a longer period, freezing is the way to go. Follow these steps:
   • Transfer it to freezer-safe containers or heavy-duty freezer bags. Make sure to leave some space at the top as liquids expand when frozen.
   • Seal the containers or bags tightly, removing as much air as possible to prevent freezer burn.
   • Label the containers or bags with the date of preparation.
   • Place the containers or bags in the freezer.
   • Frozen strawberry soup can typically last for 2-3 months without significant loss of quality.
3. Thawing: When you’re ready to enjoy your strawberry soup, you can thaw it in the refrigerator overnight.

Remember, while freezing extends the shelf life of strawberry soup, it may slightly alter the texture upon thawing. However, the flavor should remain intact, allowing you to enjoy delicious strawberry soup even when it’s out of season.
