Method of Strawberry soup


1. Separate out a part of the prettiest strawberries. Quarter or slice them and toss in a large bowl with the sugar and 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice. Cover and keep cold for 1 hour or longer.
2. Place the remaining strawberries in the bowl of a status mixer fitted with the paddle, or in a food processor fitted with the steel blade. If using the mixer, turn on at medium-low speed and squash the berries to a coarse puree. If using a food processor pulse to a coarse puree. Add the remaining orange juice, the lemon juice, the honey and the rose water and beat together. Taste and add more honey if preferred. Cool until ready to serve.
3. Just before serving, mix the quartered strawberries with the juice that has accumulated in the bowl into the crushed strawberries. Measure into bowls, top with chopped or slivered mint, and serve.
