Spiced Fruit and Cream Soup

Acoustic Indigo's Note:

A creamy fruit soup that is decadent yet light, with a creative meddley of flavors. A wonderfully unconventional dessert.

Really Excellent! Made as directed and we loved it. I may add some diced green apples next time, but I think this recipe is great as-is. Thank you for the Great Recipe! [Made & Reviewed for PAC Spring 2009]

ABSOLUTELY GREAT! I'm more used to fruit soups that are cold rather than warm, so this was a nice change of pace! Made is just as posted, & love the blend of flavors! Thanks so much for sharing! [Made & reviewed for one of my adopted chefs in this Spring's PAC]

My family loved this soup! I omitted the orange and mango juices and instead pureed a fresh mango along with the banana. I also used milk rather than cream for a lighter soup. This is definitely a keeper. Thanks!
