Chilled Strawberry Ginger Soup

To make the ginger-lemon simple syrup, bring the water and sugar to a simmer over low heat and stir until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and add the chunks of fresh ginger and lemon slices to the pot. Let steep for 20 minutes. Strain mixture, set aside 4 tablespoons for this recipe and chill the rest.

To make the soup, add strawberries, wine, yogurt, honey and simple syrup to a blender or food processor and blend until combined. Spoon mixture into bowls and top each serving with 1 tablespoon yogurt and a sprinkling of lemon zest if desired.
