Cherry season is upon us! I'm sharing this refreshing and light chilled soup recipe with you today. The weather has been so warm; I thought this Swiss cherry soup might be quite the ticket for cooling things down. I hope you enjoy this recipe!

The cherry orchard next door was filled with cherry pickers this morning. They were busy harvesting (and I am sure the orchard owner is praying for "no rain" until harvest is past). Fortunately sunny skies are in the forecast.
I had to laugh because when I saw the title I thought it said "swiss chard" and cherry soup. I kept think what a strange combination. The fruit soup sounds good.
ReplyDeleteOh I love fruit soups....this sounds wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds delightful. I'm going to have to copy that one! Thanks. Susan
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've tried any soup made with fruit, this may be the first although I'm not fond of cherries, love the cherry flavor but not the cherry itself.
ReplyDeleteHow delightful.
