A Story about Chilled Apricot Lemon Soup Recipe
I have a fun story about how these apricots came into my life... I recently moved and have been walking my dogs around our new neighborhood, just a little envious of all the fruit trees I kept spying in yards. One morning I was eyeing some apricots and even snuck one or two to enjoy on our morning walk but I was secretly wishing I could have more to have fun creating in the kitchen with. THEN, the very next day, a sign appeared hanging from the tree branches saying, "Pick and Enjoy while they last" so I ran home and grabbed a big bowl and picked! It was so awesome and that's the story of how these little guys came into my kitchen. That's the story of our Chilled Apricot Lemon Soup. :) [mv_create key="934" thumbnail="https://cookingwithruthie.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/chilled-apricot-lemon-soup-2.jpg" title="Chilled Apricot Lemon Soup Recipe" type="recipe"]More Truvia Recipes
