Cold Piña Colada Soup

  • 2 cans (20 oz ea) crushed pineapple in its own juice (about 2 cups), with juice
  • 1.5 cups (one can + a little milk as necessary) coconut milk
  • 1/4 cup sweetener (I use the equivalent amount of granular Splenda)
  • 3 tablespoons rum

In two batches, process everything in the food processor until it's rather smooth. I put about half the amount of everything into the processor for each batch and then stir both batches together in a big bowl so it all comes out uniform.

Serve well chilled (as in: chill overnight in refrigerator).

This amount makes four generous servings or six modest servings. It's a bit on the filling side, so judge accordingly. NB: The soup really, really tastes better if you chill it overnight in the refrigerator.
