Tips:

  • Don't overcook the fruit. You want the fruit to still have some texture, so cook it just until it is tender.
  • Add some herbs or spices to your soup. This will give it a more complex flavor. Some good options include mint, basil, rosemary, or cardamom.
  • Serve your soup chilled or at room temperature. It's also delicious served warm, but it's especially refreshing on a hot summer day served cold.
