Steps:
- 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 3/4 teaspoon 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.
TART CHERRY COBBLER
This requires a flaky pie dough instead of a drop biscuit style topping. If you want to use a refrigerator pie crust instead of making your own that works just fine and the end result is well worth it!

CHERRY SOUP
My grandmother had talked about her cherry soup recipe for years, so when I received some of our state's famous Door County cherries, I just had to try it. My family liked it so well that I froze several quarts so we could enjoy it all winter! -Sue Bronholz, Beaver Dam, Wisconsin

TART CHERRY SOUP
I've adapted this dessert from one of Jean-Georges Vongerichten's recipes. It starts with his base soup, and I've added the tanginess of yogurt and the toasted nuttiness of sesame for depth of flavor and contrasting textures.

Steps:
- Pit the cherries. Put them in a saucepan with the water and sugar and stir. Bring to a boil to dissolve the sugar.
- Transfer to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and chill overnight.
- Spoon some of the soup into a small glass or bowl. Top with a scoop of frozen yogurt and garnish with a tuile. Repeat for each serving.
- You can certainly buy frozen yogurt. And instead of making the tuiles, garnish with toasted sesame seeds or crumble some great halvah over the top.
CHERRY TOMATO SOUP (GARY RHODES)
Another fantastic Gary Rhodes recipe. Light and delicious! Perfect for a starter course but fantastic for a summer lunch as well. I have made this several times when cherry tomato season comes around. I have also frozen this with great results. NOTE: A basic passata is a sauce made of tomatoes, basil, water, preservative, however some types have more herbs and spices in them, so make sure you like what is in your passata as it will be a main flavour in your soup. You can substitute tomato sauce (not ketchup!) or canned tomatoes (put through the food processor). Sometimes I don't have passata on hand so I put a can of chopped tomatoes in the food processor (enough to equal the recipe equivalent) and add a bit of basil to it to taste. I don't add water because the canned tomatoes are already in liquid. I hope you enjoy this soup as much as I do.

Steps:
- Heat up the olive oil in a frying pan.
- Add the red onions to the pan over medium heat until the start to colour and become softened; about 3-4 minutes.
- When the onions begin to soften add the garlic and slowly cook both together until softened about a minute or so. (The garlic is added second to prevent it from burning and tasting bitter.).
- Add the red wine vinegar to the pan and bring to a boil. Cook until only a bit of liquid is left. (Be careful not to reduce too much or it will give your soup a soury taste.).
- Add the cherry tomato halves to the pan and fry for 10 minutes, making sure to stir occasionally so they don't burn.
- Stir in the passata (see note in description of recipe above) and vegetable stock to the tomato mixture, bring to a low boil, reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes more.
- Taste the broth then sprinkle sea salt and pepper over soup to your taste.
- Serving: you can serve with torn fresh basil leaves over top.
SOUR CHERRY TART
Gloria Zimmerman picks well-ripened sour cherries from the cherry tree in a friend's yard each summer, pits them and freezes them. Although this tart can be made with sweet cherries, it is better made with sour cherries. The pate brisee recipe is very rich and must be handled with care to make it conform to the tart mold. The unglazed tart should not be refrigerated; it should be served while still lukewarm - difficult to do in a restaurant - with strong coffee.

Steps:
- For the pate brisee, place the flour, sugar, salt and butter pieces in owl and crush the butter into the dry ingredients with the tips of your fingers until combined somewhat but with pieces of butter still visible in the mixture. Add the ice water and stir with a fork just until the mixture holds together. Gather it up, pressing it between your hands to flatten it and make it round, and wrap it in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for one hour.
- Rub a small amount of flour into a pastry cloth and roll the dough into a very thin circle, about 12 1/2 inches in diameter. Roll the dough onto the rolling pin and gently fit it into the bottom and up the sides of an 11-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Press the dough against the sides of the pan to fill in any holes and make it adhere to the metal. Remove any excess overhanging dough by rolling the rolling pin across the top of the pan. Refrigerate the tart shell for one hour.
- Meanwhile, in a bowl combine the cherries, tapioca, sugar and almond extract. Sprinkle the ground almond-sugar mixture in the pastry shell and arrange the cherry mixture on top. Place the tart pan on a cookie sheet and bake in a 400-degree oven for one to one-and-a-quarter hours, until the dough is nicely browned. Unmold and serve with strong coffee.
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.
