There is nothing more comforting than an old, worn and stained recipe card. You can truly feel the baked love through the faded handwriting of mothers long ago.

Michigan Cherry Soup


We make this soup in the summer with fresh cherries and serve it cold. In the winter we use frozen cherries and serve it warm. 

  • 2 pounds (4 C.) fresh or frozen cherries, stemmed and pitted
  • 2 C. water
  • 2 C. medium-dry white wine
  • ¼ C. sugar
  • 4 tsp. cornstarch
  • 1 Tbsp. fresh orange juice
  • 1 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
  • 1 tsp. lime zest
  • Sugar to taste or lime juice to taste
  • Dollop of sour cream or plain yogurt
  • Spring of fresh mint (for garnish)

Place ½ cherries in a soup pot along with water and wine. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until the cherries are soft (about 15 min.) Puree in blender/food processor until smooth. Combine sugar and cornstarch in a small bowl, then add 3 Tbsp of cherry mixture and stir well. Return cherry puree and cherry paste to the pot and cook over high heat, whisking until thickened (about 5 min.) Reduce heat and stir in remaining cherries, juices, and zest. Taste for sweetness/sourness and add either sugar or lime juice to taste. Serve either chilled or warm and top with sour cream or plain yogurt and a sprig of mint.
