Ingredients List

Here’s what you’ll need to whip up this tropical delight:

• 4 cups fresh pineapple chunks (fresh or frozen; avoid canned for added sugars)
• 1 small ripe banana (adds natural sweetness and creaminess)
• 1/2 cup guava juice (or substitute with apple juice)
• 1/4 cup coconut cream (for a luscious tropical texture)
• Juice of 1 lime (to balance the sweetness with bright acidity)
• 5-6 fresh basil leaves (or substitute with mint for a different herbal note)
• 3 pitted dates (for natural sweetness)
• Pinch of salt (to enhance flavors)
• Optional garnish: Crumbled cojita cheese for a salty finish

This recipe is gluten-free, oat-free, egg-free, soy-free, and dairy-free (except the optional cheese). It’s a breeze to make and suits anyone seeking light summer appetizers or vegan cold soup recipes.

Preparation Instructions

Ready to make this tropical treat? Here’s the step-by-step pineapple soup preparation:

Prep the Ingredients: If using fresh pineapple, chop it into chunks. If you prefer frozen pineapple, there’s no need to thaw completely. Don’t forget to pit the dates and squeeze fresh lime juice for that perfect tang.

Blend the Soup: Add the pineapple chunks, banana, guava juice, coconut cream, lime juice, fresh basil leaves, dates, and a pinch of salt to a high-speed blender. Blend everything until your fruity chilled soup is smooth and creamy.

Taste & Adjust: Give your pineapple cold soup a quick taste test. If you want it zestier, add more lime juice. For extra sweetness, toss in a few more dates. If the texture feels too thick, simply add a splash of water or more juice to thin it out.

Chill: Transfer your blended soup into a covered container and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours. Chilling is key to allowing the flavors of this summer cold soup to meld beautifully.

Serve: Pour the chilled soup into bowls or glasses. For a finishing touch, garnish with crumbled cojita cheese or a few fresh basil leaves to add color and an extra burst of flavor.

Tips:

• Use a blender that can handle frozen fruit easily to get a velvety texture.
• Chilling the soup before serving is essential to bring out its full flavor.
• Fresh pineapple is best; canned pineapple often has added sugars that can throw off the balance.
• The combination of pineapple and fresh herbs like basil adds a bright, natural tropical flavor that’s both sweet and herbal.

Serving Suggestions and Tips

Serve this fruity chilled soup as a light summer appetizer or a cool midday snack. Here are some fun ways to enjoy it:

• In small glasses as a starter before a tropical-inspired meal.
• Paired with a crisp, well-balanced white wine to elevate the flavors.
• With a sprinkle of chili flakes or a dash of cayenne for a subtle kick.
• Mixed with diced cucumber for a pineapple and cucumber soup twist.
