Sad to see the slow cooker stowed away? Soups, stews and chili may not be spring and summer staples, but that doesn’t mean you can’t whip up variations for the warmer months. As fuss-free as any crockpot creation, this chilled berry soup takes just minutes to make in your blender and combines fresh, in-season ingredients for a paleo diet-friendly starter, between-course palate cleanser or dessert. Vary it up with your favorite fruits and herbs — you might just create your own signature spring soup style.
