Pour blueberry mixture into a blender and pulse until smooth. Add the buttermilk and pulse until well blended. Refrigerate overnight or until chilled.

When ready to serve, transfer blueberry soup to 6 to 8 small glasses. Dot the tops of each serving with three very small spoonfuls (about 1/2 teaspoon) of yogurt. Drag a toothpick through the center of each dot to create hearts.

Garnish with mint if desired.

Serves 6 to 8. Enjoy!
