Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh cherries, pitted
• 1 cup fresh raspberries
• 1.5 cups water
• 0.25 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup heavy cream or yogurt (optional, for garnish)
• 2 sprigs fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Add the pitted fresh cherries, fresh raspberries, water, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and ground cinnamon to a medium saucepan.

Step 2

Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves completely, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to low and simmer the mixture for 7-8 minutes until the fruit softens and releases its juices.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool down to room temperature for about 10-15 minutes.

Step 5

Using a blender or an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth. If desired, strain the soup through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds and achieve a silky texture.

Step 6

Stir in the vanilla extract and transfer the soup to a large bowl or container. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until well chilled.

Step 7

When ready to serve, ladle the cold cherry raspberry soup into serving bowls and garnish with a drizzle of heavy cream or yogurt, if desired. Add fresh mint leaves for an extra touch of freshness.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy this refreshing summer treat!
