Cold Blueberry Soup

Cold Blueberry Soup

If you want something a little different to do with blueberries consider making a cold soup. It is a fun first course and very refreshing on a hot day.  I garnished mine with a little blueberry syrup and a couple of fresh berries. Sometimes I garnish with a little mint, too.  Simple and fun.
