Cherry Soup

Generally one associates soup of any kind with warmth to be had on a cold winter day. How about cold soup on a hot summer day.

Here is an unusual one I came across and gave it my own creative twist.

Boil sweet dry cherries in hot water. For a cup of cherries, add one cup of water. Add two tablespoons of sugar. Boil again until sugar dissolves completely. Remove from heat. Let it cool down to room temperature. Add a cup of yogurt and a cup of buttermilk. Whisk everything together. Add some lemon zest and serve cold. You may add a touch of mint. (optional)
