Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium ripe peaches
- 4 medium ripe nectarines
- 1 cup orange juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cup cold water
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 4 leaves fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the peaches and nectarines by making a small 'X' incision at the base of each fruit, blanching them in boiling water for 30 seconds, then transferring them to an ice water bath. Once cooled, gently remove the skins.
Cut the peaches and nectarines in half, remove the pits, and roughly chop the fruit into smaller pieces.
In a blender, combine the chopped peaches, nectarines, orange juice, lemon juice, honey, Greek yogurt, cold water, and ground cinnamon.
Blend the mixture until smooth. If the soup is too thick, you can add additional cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
Taste the soup and adjust sweetness by adding more honey if needed.
Transfer the soup to a bowl or container, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until thoroughly chilled.
Before serving, stir the chilled soup to recombine the ingredients if they have settled. Divide the soup into serving bowls.
Garnish each bowl with a mint leaf, if desired, and serve immediately.
