This unique recipe for a refreshing morning fruit soup topped with sweet croutons is featured in The Graham Inn's new cookbook, Geckos and Granola. Fresh strawberries are recommended, but frozen may be substituted. This recipe was provided by
The Graham Inn and Adobe Village, Sedona, Arizona.

 
 

INGREDIENTS
Croutons:
3 slices white bread, crusts removed
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Soup:
1 1/2 quarts fresh strawberries, cleaned and hulled
1/2 cup apple juice
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons honey
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup half-and-half
Assembly:
Edible flowers
Croutons
Strawberries
 


METHOD

Begin by making the croutons. Preheat oven to 300°. Cut the bread slices into bite-size cubes. Toss the melted butter and bread cubes in a bowl with a fork. Add sugar and cinnamon to a plastic bag. Place the croutons in the bag and shake until well coated. Transfer the cubes to a baking sheet coated with DuPont SilverStone® non-stick and bake for 10 minutes or until crisp and lightly browned.

While the croutons bake, prepare the soup by pureeing the strawberries in a blender with the apple juice. Add the remaining soup ingredients and blend until smooth. Serve chilled or at room temperature. Garnished with the sweet croutons, an edible flower or a strawberry.
