Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the sour cherries, sugar, and cinnamon stick with the 3 cups of water.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes until the cherries are tender.
  3. Remove the cinnamon stick from the pot and discard.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk the flour with the 6 tablespoons of cold water until smooth and free of lumps.
  5. Pour the cherry mixture into a blender. With the blender running, slowly pour in the flour slurry to thicken the soup.
  6. Blend until completely smooth and uniform in texture.
  7. Return the blended soup to the saucepan and bring to a gentle boil, stirring constantly to prevent sticking.
  8. Once boiling, remove from heat and allow the soup to cool to room temperature.
  9. Cover and refrigerate the soup until thoroughly chilled, at least 2 hours or overnight.
  10. Just before serving, stir in the heavy cream and dry red wine to taste.
  11. Serve immediately in chilled bowls.
