Whenever I find "soupe de fraises" on the menu in France, I know that spring has come. As soon as the first French strawberries are ripe, this dessert becomes a fixture on the menu. Served with a light yoghurt cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, soupe de fraises is so refreshing and light that you can enjoy it even after a hearty meal.
