Drain and rinse 1 cup strawberries to remove any small bits of dirt or stones.
Whisk 1 Tablespoon sugar in 1 cup milk.
Put the strawberries on a plate and mash them gently until they release their juices. A great way to do this is to use a simple fork. Ripe strawberries are easy to mash and contain a lot of juice, which gives the soup a true strawberry flavor.
Pour sweetened milk over, and serve immediately.
Notes
The basic recipe makes 1 portion.
Adjust the sugar amount according to the sweetness of the strawberries and your taste preferences. Ripe fruit requires less sugar.
Add a few chopped fresh mint leaves to the soup. Strawberries and mint make a perfect combination!
