Directions
-
In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups of water, the tart cherries, and salt.
-
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes until cherries are tender.
-
In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and 1/4 cup of cold water until smooth to create a slurry.
-
Stir the flour slurry into the simmering cherry mixture and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the soup thickens slightly.
-
In a separate small bowl, beat the egg yolks. Slowly ladle about 1/2 cup of the hot soup into the egg yolks, whisking constantly to temper them.
-
Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the pot, stirring gently. Do not let the soup boil after adding the eggs.
-
In another small bowl, stir the sour cream with a few spoonfuls of the hot soup to warm it slightly, then stir this mixture back into the main pot.
-
Heat through gently, but do not boil. Serve immediately while hot, or chill thoroughly in the refrigerator and serve cold.
