Strawberry Soup

This is a great soup to serve for a Valentine's Day dinner. It is a cold soup and it tastes very similar to a strawberry shake. I usually prepare it the day before I plan on serving it.

Ingredients:
 6 C (1 1/2 qt) fresh strawberries
 6 T lemon juice
 1 1/2 C sugar
 3 C water
 2 C whipping cream

Instructions:
1. Combine all except cream in a saucepan.
2. Heat slowly until it comes to a boil; cook about 8 minutes, then remove and cool.
3. Blend half the cream and half the strawberry mixture at low speed.
4. Add remaining half and repeat.
5. Store soup in the refrigerator in covered container for at least 4 hours.
6. Serve cold.
