Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large ripe peaches
- 1.5 cups Riesling wine
- 0.5 cup orange juice
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 0.5 cup water
- 6 small leaves fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare the peaches by peeling, pitting, and roughly chopping them into small chunks.
In a medium saucepan, combine the Riesling wine, water, honey, and orange juice. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat and stir until the honey has fully dissolved, about 3–4 minutes.
Add the chopped peaches to the saucepan and cook for 5–7 minutes, just until the peaches start to soften. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature.
Transfer the cooled peach mixture to a blender. Add the lemon juice and blend until smooth. For a silkier texture, strain the soup through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl, pressing with a spoon to extract all the juice.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the peach soup for at least 2 hours or until thoroughly chilled.
Taste the chilled soup and adjust the sweetness with a touch more honey, if desired.
Ladle the soup into serving bowls or shallow glasses. Garnish with a fresh mint leaf and serve immediately.
