Strawberry Champagne Soup for Valentine’s Day

I found a similar recipe in one of my favorite new cookbooks, Saveur Soups and Stews. I have a serious cookbook addiction and this cook book is just full of SO MUCH BEAUTY. Every style of comforting soup or stew recipe is in this awesome book. When I saw they had included a recipe for Strawberry Soup with Balsamic Reduction, I knew I had to try it, tweak it, and post it. I just had to!

I think the addition of bubbly champagne made it really special, and really brought it up a notch for special occasions. I love adding a little bubbly into recipes for Valentine’s Day, bridal showers, brunch, or New Year’s. And it fit in perfectly with this strawberry soup!

How to Make Champagne Strawberry Soup

Strawberries are the perfect pairing with champagne, and both make me think of Valentine’s Day. Whether you sip this soup or eat it with a spoon, serve it hot or serve a chilled soup, I think you are going to love it.

1. Combine champagne, sugar, and water in a saucepan over medium high heat. Stir until sugar fully dissolves. 
2. When the soup starts to bubble, reduce heat and let it simmer for 2 minutes. 
3. Pour it into a blender, add strawberries and salt, and blend until smooth.
4. Pour the strawberry soup through a fine mesh strainer and back into the saucepan.
5. In another pan, cook balsamic and the rest of the sugar for 8 minutes to make the balsamic reduction.
6. To serve hot: serve the soup right away, with balsamic reduction drizzled over it.
7. To serve cold: let it chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour before serving.

This champagne strawberry soup is so easy to make and tastes so amazing!
