Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ripe peaches
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger
- 1 cup low-fat plain yogurt
- 0.5 cup orange juice
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.25 cup water
- 4 leaves mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the peaches by blanching them in boiling water for 30 seconds, then transferring them to an ice bath. The skins should slip off easily. Alternatively, use a sharp knife to peel.
Cut the peaches in half, remove the pits, and chop the flesh into smaller pieces.
In a blender, combine the chopped peaches, fresh ginger, low-fat yogurt, orange juice, honey, lemon juice, and water.
Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If the texture is too thick, add a little more water, one tablespoon at a time, until it reaches your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust sweetness with additional honey if needed.
Transfer the soup to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the soup to chill completely.
Before serving, stir the soup well and transfer it to bowls or glasses.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired and serve immediately.
