Chilled soups are delicious on spring or summer night. This cherry soup is a little unusual, but once you taste it you will definitely be craving more. I made this soup for an event and it was the hit of the night. Its the perfect balance of tart and sweet. It makes a gorgeous presentation in shot glasses or a shallow bowl. As an added bonus, this soup could not be easier to make. This will become a regular dessert in your rotation!
