Strawberry Soup With Sorbet
- 1 pint ripe strawberries
- 1 cup white sparkling wine
- 1/2 pint tart lemon sorbet
- 1/2 pint strawberry sorbet
- 4 sprigs of fresh mint
- Rinse and hull the berries.
- Place them in a food processor and puree them.
- Transfer them to a bowl, stir in the sparkling wine and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Refrigerate four shallow soup plates until serving time.
- To serve, place two small scoops of lemon sorbet and two small scoops of strawberry sorbet in each of the chilled soup plates.
- The most attractive way to do this is to scoop ovals of the sorbet, using an oval soup spoon.
- Place the four scoops of sorbet in the shape of an X, meeting in the center of the bowl and alternating colors.
- Tuck a sprig of mint in the center of each cluster of scoops, where they meet.
- Serve the bowls of sorbet.
- At the table, ladle the strawberry mixture into the bowls, spooning it around, not over, the sorbets.
