I'm baaaack! :)
Finally, after days of cloudy, windy, rainy weather, we have some sun! WOO! So, I decided to grill for dinner. We had a giant papaya and pineapple laying in the fruit bowl, so I threw together this wonderful chilled fruit soup to go with the grilled entree. And, since we ended up with a ton of alcohol after the wedding, I thought I'd add some rum into the mix to give it a little kick. Cuz I'm like that. ;) By substituting cashew cream for dairy, this soup gives you all the creamy goodness while avoiding the unhealthy fats.
This recipe was so fun to throw together. I had friends over for dinner and they were amazed at how quickly it turned into yummy goodness! I love entertaining. :D

Wow, I never knew you could use the seeds!!! I love papaya - I eat it everyday with my breakfast, but I think I am going to have to try this! Maybe even when we have friends over. You never cease to amaze me, really! :)
Glad you are back!
Thanks, Jenn! The seeds are great in small quantities. They taste vaguely like black pepper, very slightly bitter, but have a toxin that can cause lower pulse rate in large quantities. So, I use only a little from time to time. :)
Huh! So cool! Thanks for the tip. I will try a few next time.
This looks so pretty in the martini glass!
Vegan? Papaya? RUM?
OK I'm totally sold on this. Good show.
Pineapple, papaya and cashews are a few of my favorite things! I love the martini glass for serving.
I feel like chilled soup doesn't get as much recognition as it deserves - I love it! Thanks for the recipe!
Take care,
