Sour Cherry Soup

Recipe Ingredients

1 lb	454g / 16oz	Sour cherries
1/2 cup	99g / 3.5oz	Superfine sugar - see * Note
1/2 cup	118ml	Red-wine vinegar
1 cup	237ml	Half-and-half
1 cup	237ml	Sour cream
1 cup	237ml	Ice water
1 teaspoon	5ml	Kosher salt
		Sour cream - (optional), see * Note
		Ground cinnamon

Recipe Instructions

* Note: If serving as a dessert, double the amount of sugar and substitute dollop of ice cream or sorbet for the sour cream.

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.

This recipe yields 5 cups; serves 5 to 6 as first course or dessert.
