Sour Cherry Soup

By LKWolfe

Ingredients

• 500 gm (1 lb., 2 oz) sour cherries, stoned
• 150 gm (5 oz) sugar
• Salt
• Pinch cinnamon
• Lemon peel (I use a couple of grates...maybe an inch long each. Start with one, taste after a few minutes and add more if needed.)
• 10 cl (1/2 cup) sour cream
• 1 tsp flour

Preparation

Step 1

In 1 1/2 litres (2 1/2 cups) water, combine cherries, lemon peel, cinnamon, and sugar. Bring to a gentle boil, then lower heat and simmer, maybe 20 -25 minutes.

Mix the flour and sour cream. Stir in to the simmered soup. Return to a gentle boil and cook for another 3 - 4 minutes. Cool to room temp, then refrigerate.
