Ingredients

  

• 2 lbs pitted fresh (or bottled) cherries or Morello cherries in light syrup, see Notes
• 2 cups coconut milk
• 13.5 oz can of coconut cream I use 'Let's do Organic' Organic Coconut Cream
• 2 tbsp raw cane sugar (Turbinado)
• Pinch of salt
• Pinch of cinnamon (optional)
• Fresh mint leaves and pitted cherries for garnish

Instructions

 

• Prepare Ingredients: Start by pitting the cherries if they aren't already pitted. This step is crucial for achieving a smooth texture in your soup.
  
• Blend Ingredients: In a blender, combine the pitted cherries, coconut milk, coconut cream, raw cane sugar, a pinch of salt, and optional cinnamon. Blend until smooth and creamy. (Leave some unprocessed cherries for serving.)
• Chill: Transfer the blended mixture to a large bowl or pitcher and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours, or until thoroughly chilled. This step allows the flavors to meld together and enhances the soup's refreshing quality.
• Serve: Ladle the creamy cold sour cherry soup into serving bowls once chilled. Garnish each bowl with some unprocessed cherries, fresh mint leaves and a few reserved pitted cherries for an extra burst of flavor and visual appeal. A pinch of cinnamon is optional, but it will lift the flavor.
• Enjoy: Serve this delightful soup as a starter for a summer meal or as a light and satisfying dessert. The creamy texture combined with the tartness of the cherries makes it a refreshing treat for any occasion.
  

Notes

Feel free to adjust the sweetness level by adding more or less raw cane sugar according to your taste preferences. You can also add a splash of lemon or lime juice for an extra citrusy kick.

Fresh sour cherries are not easy to obtain; Morello cherries in light syrup, which can be found at Trader Joe’s stores, are ideal. This way, this delicious soup will be accessible year-round.
