After a morning at the pool when we need something fast and cool for lunch, Fruit Soup is our go-to meal.
It’s easy: three ingredients tossed in a bowl. It’s economical: you can even sneak the “heel” of the loaf of bread in and no one is the wiser. It’s cool: there’s no stove or oven to heat up your kitchen. It’s local: use your Farmer’s Market finds of seasonal fruit at its best. It’s kid-friendly: kids can choose their own fruits and even make it themselves. And we aren’t even going to go into delicious because you have to try it to believe it.
Take a piece of bread and tear it into a bowl. Cut up your favorite fruit and add that to the bowl. Pour raw cream over the top. Eat. With some combinations, a little local, raw honey drizzled over the top might be preferred. You don’t want to use cheap white bread for this, it will turn to glue in the bowl. But if you have an eater who balks at rough, brown bread, this could be the dish to sway them!

Totally love it. My mom used to give me toast with milk over it when I was sick. This sounds even better with the fruit!

Sounds like I could try it with yogurt? I don’t get my hands on raw cream very often but this sounds so easy and yummy!

I’d like to try this with one of my quinoa muffins and home made kefir-a refreshing bit of fizz between the cold moist quinoa, pecans, chocolate chips, and bananas.
