From Cheney, Kansas, Julian Ann Hillman shared the recipe for this chilled soup that stars a bounty of berries. "I have several blackberry bushes, and they yielded an abundance of berries one year," she writes. "I came up with this recipe by adapting another fruit soup recipe I hand on hand."

I'm allergic to blackberries, so I can't try this soup. :(

This soup is way too expensive to make. I can't justify spending that much money on a bowl of soup.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my soup didn't turn out as well as I expected. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This soup was a bit too thick for my taste. I think I'll add more liquid next time.

I found this soup to be a bit bland. I think I'll add some spices next time to give it more flavor.

This soup is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try it again with less sugar next time.

This soup is also a great way to use up leftover blackberries. I had a few berries left over from a pie I made and they were perfect for this soup.

I made this soup with frozen blackberries and it turned out just as well as when I made it with fresh berries.

This soup is the perfect way to use up fresh blackberries. It's also a great make-ahead meal, so it's perfect for busy weeknights.

This blackberry soup was fantastic! The flavors were so rich and complex, with just the right amount of sweetness and tartness. I'm not usually a fan of soups, but this one has definitely changed my mind.
