Peel the Calanda peaches by making a small cross at the bottom of each peach. Blanch them in boiling water for 30 seconds, then immediately transfer them into a bowl of ice water. The skins will easily slip off. Once peeled, pit the peaches and roughly chop them.
In a blender, combine the chopped peaches, Greek yogurt, heavy cream, orange juice, and honey.
Blend until the mixture is completely smooth. If the consistency is too thick, add the cold water a little at a time until your desired thickness is achieved.
Taste the soup and add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors.
Transfer the soup to a large bowl or container, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours until well chilled.
When ready to serve, pour the cold soup into individual bowls, garnish with fresh mint leaves, and drizzle a little extra honey on top if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing taste!
