Food & Cooking Recipes Soups, Stews & Stocks Soup Recipes Chilled Sour-Cherry Soup Close Credit: Mikkel Vang Prep Time: 25 mins Total Time: 1 hr 20 mins Yield: 2 cups A refreshing yet intense soup to serve in small portions before dinner, garnished with herbs. Recipe adapted from The Georgian Feast by Darra Goldstein. Directions Pass cherries through a food mill to extract all juices; or purée in a food processor and strain through a medium-mesh sieve, skimming surface of any foam. (Discard pulp, or reserve for another use.) Sprinkle garlic with 3/4teaspoon salt, then mash into a very fine paste with the side of a knife. Stir into cherry purée. Refrigerate, covered, until very cold, at least 1 hour. (Purée can be made to this point and refrigerated up to 8 hours.) Stir chopped cilantro and dill into soup and season with salt; refrigerate 30 minutes more. Divide soup among 4 to 6 small bowls, and top each with cucumber, scallions, and herb sprigs. Serve with sour cream on the side.
