Anyone have a recipe for a fruit soup that has a "thicker" consistency? I don't like fruit soup if it's just fruit juice with some chunks of fruit in it (like compote). Instead, something that's a bit thicker, like a similar consistency to butternut squash soup... or along those lines.

Quick and kosher has a dairy no-cook mango soup that is think like a smoothie.

Not sure if this is the kind of soup you'd go for, but I love cherry or strawberry soup with sour cream. Not only is it thicker, but it gives it a bit of a tangy taste. I think I have the strawberry soup recipe (very easy, no cooking IIRC).

Strawberry soup:

Blend: 1 bag (16 oz) frozen strawberries
1/2 c sugar
2 Tbsp lemon juice
1/4 c white wine

in blender until smooth. Serve cold with blueberries.
Yum!

My fruit soups are boiled. I reduce the amount of sugar a bit and then after I turn off the stove, I stir in a package of jello and it thickens the soup up as it cools. I also do this for cranberry sauce.

I also serve this, but I use white grape juice in place of the wine. Also, we love it when it's served like this:

I freeze the soup flat in a Ziploc and about 1 hour before serving, I put the Ziploc in the fridge to defrost. Then about 20 minutes before serving, I crush the bag with my hands to break the softened pieces and then I pour into bowls. It's like having a cold fruit smoothie right in the begininng of the meal. Mmmmmm

Do you all think I could use Stevia or Splenda instead of the sugar? (Just opinions--looking for low-cal)

Yes. Use them to taste.

I also do cooked fruit soup (plums, apples, cherries). Toward the end, I add corn starch diluted in water so my soup comes out nice and thick.
