Sour Cherry Soup
Author: Barbara Kafka
Recipe type: Soups and Stews
Cuisine: Hungarian
Serves: 5 to 6
Ingredients
- 1 pound sour cherries
- 1/2 Cup superfine sugar; see * Note
- 1/2 Cup red-wine vinegar
- 1 Cup half-and-half
- 1 Cup sour cream
- 1 Cup ice water
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- sour cream; (optional), see * Note
- ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Reserve 6 whole cherries. Pass the remaining cherries through a food mill (the food mill is used to get rid of the skins and pits, so a food processor is not a good substitute) fitted with the medium disk into a metal bowl.
- Whisk the remaining ingredients except the sour cream and ground cinnamon into the cherry juice. Refrigerate until cold.
- Pour the soup into bowls and top each serving with a dollop of sour cream (if using for first course), one of the reserved cherries and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
Notes
* Note: If serving as a dessert, double the amount of sugar and substitute dollop of ice cream or sorbet for the sour cream.
This recipe yields 5 Cups; serves 5 to 6 as first course or dessert.
