Cold Sour Cherry Soup
Ingredients
- 3 cups cold water
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 4 cups pitted sour cherries (or canned sour cherries, drained)
- 1 tablespoon arrowroot
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 3/4 cup red wine, chilled
Instructions
- In a 2 quart saucepan, combine 3 cups cold water, sugar and cinnamon stick. Bring to a boil and add cherries. Partially cover and simmer 35 to 40 minutes if cherries are fresh — 10 minutes if canned.
- Remove cinnamon stick. Mix arrowroot and 2 tablespoons cold water into a paste. Beat paste into soup, stirring constantly. Bring soup almost to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until clear and slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
- Refrigerate until chilled.
- Before serving, stir in cream and wine.
- Serve in pre-chilled bowls.
