Cold cherry soup is a refreshing and delicious summer dish that is perfect for any occasion. This chilled soup is made with fresh cherries, yogurt, and milk, and is typically served with a dollop of sour cream or whipped cream. Cold cherry soup is a great way to cool down on a hot day, and it is also packed with nutrients. Cherries are a good source of vitamins A and C, and they are also high in antioxidants. The yogurt and milk in this soup provide protein and calcium, and the sour cream or whipped cream adds a touch of richness and creaminess. Cold cherry soup is a versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover cherries.

COLD CHERRY SOUP
Many versions of cold cherry soup originated in Hungary and Poland, where cooks would use sour cherries and a lot of sugar. Traditional cherry soups also are made with sour cream and heavy cream, and sometimes they are thickened with flour. I like this lighter version, which is made with drained yogurt instead of cream.

Steps:
- Pit the cherries, and place the pitted cherries in a bowl and the pits in a large soup pot. Add the water to the pot, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer five minutes. With a skimmer, remove the pits from the water. Add the sugar, red wine, salt and lemon zest, and bring back to a boil over medium-high heat. Boil five minutes, then add the cherries. Bring to a simmer, turn the heat to low, cover and simmer five minutes. Remove from the heat.
- Place the yogurt in a large bowl and slowly whisk in a cup of the liquid from the soup once it is no longer simmering. Whisk until the mixture is smooth. Slowly add the rest of the soup, and whisk or stir until smooth. Allow to cool, stirring from time to time, then refrigerate until cold. Before serving, you will have to stir or whisk again, as the liquid and yogurt will separate. Still, the soup is easily homogenized.
- Serve in bowls or in glass tumblers. If you wish, garnish with additional halved, pitted fresh cherries.
