Comments
Wow, I made this strawberry rhubarb soup with rhubarb and strawberries frozen from last year and loved how easy and delicious it was. A friend said it reminded her of strawberry rhubarb pie, without the crust. It was very refreshing for a simple meal with bread, cheese and salad. I used leftovers as a sauce for yogurt and granola. This makes me ready for rhubarb season and looking forward to freezing some. Oh, I didn't have any fresh herbs, but I did add some dried mint...enough to let me know that it would be nice to add some fresh when it is available.
