Chilled Naturally Sweet Summer Fruit Soup

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

About the Recipe: This luscious summer fruit soup swirls together naturally sweet strawberries, mango, pineapple, and blueberries flavored with orange, lemon, lime and pureed fruit juices.  Serve it chilled for a cool treat for those humid summer days as a first course or dessert. It is a wonderful way to captures the flavor of the summer season.

Cook’s Note:  I added the mango pit and vanilla bean to cook and cool in the liquid for extra flavor and removed them before placing in blender. This was not part of the original recipe but I love the added flavor.
