My husband was a skeptic, but we both loved this soup - SO refreshing! We has it as an appetizer for a summer meal, but it would be an excellent palette cleansing course or even a light dessert.

I did not strain it but blended it instead to oblivion. It was heavy on mint, but in a good way. My husband does not care for wine so I didn't add the wine ice, but it was 5 stars regardless and kid friendly, too.
