1. Place all ingredients (except the garnish) into a blender. (You may have to divide ingredients into 2 batches.) Blend on a high setting until the ingredients are pureed.
2. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for several hours in a non-metallic container. Consume the day soup is made, as fruit soups quickly lose their vitality. Ladle into soup bowls.
3. For appetizer garnish, bake almond slivers at 350 degrees for 2 minutes or until golden. Cool briefly. Gently arrange a circle of almond slivers in the center of bowls; some almonds may sink. Place a sprig of mint on top of almonds.
4. For dessert garnish, place a scoop of ice cream in center of bowls along with mint sprigs. Yield: 8 servings
