Blackberry Merlot Chilled Soup Recipe

A wonderful chilled soup called Blackberry Merlot Chilled Soup, it's so refreshing and the first one I had was on a cruise with Royal Caribbean!



Here is a delightful first appetizer and start of the summer delicious meal.



This is an adult soup, and not made for kids but guess what? Just substitute Welchs Grape Juice for the Merlot for them!



There are so many ways to adapt soups that are made with fruit, even if your not fond of blackberries you can substitute another.



Berries in abundance this time of the year makes this kind of soup so special and a usual must be on "the list" to make for me. I always look forward to berry season.



We just love anything made with berries especially Summer Berry Muffins to start the day or this Blackberry Marinade for Shrimp kabobs for dinner!

Cruise Food

I experienced many chilled soup on my cruises and this has been my favorite by far.


Just remember any fruits can be used with the coordinating fruit juice for non-alcohol soups.


This soup is just amazing and shouts summer.


In my mind, berries are as much a part of summer as fresh-cut hay, soft ice cream, and leisurely moments like laying in the sun and swimming.


Sit back relax and enjoy this cold Blackberry Merlot Soup as one of the summers best started before dinner.
