CRUSHED STRAWBERRY SOUP WITH ROSE SHORTBREAD COOKIES

YIELD: 4 to 6 servings | PREP TIME: 10 minutes | CHILLING TIME: 2 hours

• 2 pounds fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered
• 1 cup fresh orange juice
• ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 to 2 tablespoons fruity red wine (optional)
• Splash of sparkling white wine or rosé (optional)
• Fresh mint leaves, for garnish (optional)

1. Place the strawberries, orange juice, lemon juice, honey, and red (but not sparkling) wine, if using, in a food processor. Pulse 10 to 12 times, until the mixture has a uniform but still somewhat coarse texture.
2. Refrigerate until very cold, at least 2 hours. If adding sparkling wine, add it to the soup just before serving. Garnish each bowl with mint leaves, if desired.

AIP Modification: Omit the wine and sparkling wine.
