Sour-cherry soup~ hungarian style

6 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 tablespoons Flour
1 cup Sour cream
1 pinch Salt
1 teaspoon Confectioner's sugar
1 pounds Fresh sour cherries, pitted
¾ cup Granulated sugar

Directions

Stir flour with sour cream, salt, and confectioner's sugar till smooth.

Meantime, cook sour cherries in 1½ quarts water with granulated sugar till done.

Take 2 ladlefuls of liquid from the cherry pot and add to the flour mixture, stir for a few minutes.

Pour the mixture back into the soup and simmer for 5 minutes. Cover the soup and let it cool that way; this way it won't develop a skin.

Adjust salt.

Note: You must have FRESH sour cherries to make this soup. Do not make it with canned fruit.
