Ingredients
  • 3 cup Water
  • 3/4 cup Sugar
  • 1 Cinnamon Stick
Directions
  1. 1
    Combine 3 cups of water, 3/4 cup sugar, 1 cinnamon stick, and the zest of 1 orange in a saucepan.
  2. 2
    Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
  3. 3
    Add 4 cups of pitted fresh tart cherries (or frozen unsweetened cherries) to the pot.
  4. 4
    Reduce heat to low and simmer gently for 30 minutes, allowing the cherries to soften and release their juices.
  5. 5
    Remove the cinnamon stick from the soup.
  6. 6
    In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of arrowroot or cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of the hot cherry liquid to create a smooth paste.
  7. 7
    Stir the arrowroot paste back into the saucepan while the soup is still simmering.
  8. 8
    Continue to stir constantly and bring the mixture back to a gentle boil.
  9. 9
    Reduce heat and simmer for an additional 30 minutes until the soup thickens slightly and becomes glossy.
  10. 10
    Remove from heat and allow the soup to cool to room temperature, noting that it will thicken further as it cools.
  11. 11
    Refrigerate the soup until completely chilled, at least 2 hours or overnight.
  12. 12
    Just before serving, stir in 1/2 cup of dry red wine and 1/3 cup of cream (or dairy-free alternative if vegan).
  13. 13
    Ladle the cold soup into champagne or wine glasses to highlight its vibrant color.
  14. 14
    Garnish with a fresh cinnamon stick and/or a dollop of sour cream or yogurt.
