Chia Pudding and Raspberry Soup



Everyday this week we have picked 6-12 raspberries from our garden.
They never make it inside.  We pick and plant them in our mouths.
Then I must explain to my youngest that we will have to wait until the sun warms the rest to bright red.
My eldest has asked (while picking our few berries) several times if we can have raspberry soup.
Well Nana bought some raspberries from a local organic farm and we didn't eat them all in one sitting.
A little boy's wish was granted.  I wish I had captured his expression when I presented him with raspberry soup.  Had I known I could please him so easily...
Blackberries would be great too!!

Raspberry Soup:
Smashed berries with a fork.


Chia Pudding:
Soak 1/4 cup chia seeds in 1/2 cup-1 cup of warm water.
Leave for at least 4 hours but stir a couple times.
I add water through the day.

Now you can add all kinds of things to your chia pudding.
I add equal amounts of one of the following with the chia pudding.
1. Most common: 1tsp vanilla, homemade yogurt, and a dash of maple syrup.
2. Raspberry soup
3. Soak raisins and cashews in hot water for 4 hours, puree in food processor.
