Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh cherries, pitted
- 2 cups water
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream (optional, for garnish)
- 4 leaves fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and pit the cherries, then set them aside.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the cherries, water, sugar, lemon juice, and ground cinnamon.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 15 minutes, until the cherries are soft and the flavors are well combined.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with the cold water to create a slurry.
Slowly stir the cornstarch slurry into the cherry mixture, while continuously stirring, to thicken the soup.
Simmer the soup for another 2-3 minutes, until the desired consistency is achieved.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the soup to cool to room temperature.
Blend the soup using an immersion blender or transfer it to a countertop blender to achieve a smooth consistency (optional, if you prefer a chunky texture, skip this step).
Chill the soup in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
Serve the cherry soup chilled, optionally garnished with a drizzle of heavy cream and fresh mint leaves.
