    24. Cold Peach and Nectarine Soup - Top

    from The New Vegetarian Epicure, Anna Thomas

    (Try substituting other fresh fruits, such as blueberries, strawberries, melon, etc.)

    serves 6

    6 cups sliced, peeled peaches and/or nectarines (about 4 lbs.)
    3 cups plain yogurt (low-fat ok)
    1/4 cup + 3 Tbs. honey
    2 Tbs. fresh lemon juice
    2 Tbs. Marsala
    1/2 tsp. cinnamon
    optional garnish: mint sprigs

    Use fully ripe, juicy peaches and nectarines. Working in batches, puree the fruit in a blender with 2 cups of the yogurt, 3 tablespoons of honey, the lemon juice, Marsala, and cinnamon. Chill the mixture well. Whisk together the remaining cup of yogurt with the remaining 1/4 cup of honey, and chill. Ladle the soup into shallow bowls and put a spoonful of the honey-sweetened yogurt in the center of each serving. Garnish with mint sprigs if you happen to have some mint around. - Updated: March 14, 2005
