Cold cherry soup is specialty Hungarian soup that has been around for years. It is often served as part of a full course meal. However, many people enjoy eating this cool delicious soup as a meal especially during the summer on a long hot day. Over the years, many people have created several ways to make this Hungarian soup. This is a healthier version of the recipe for cold cherry soup, which serves up to eight people once prepared.

Things You’ll Need:

  • 1/2 cup of sugar

  • 5 cups of water
  • 1 1/2 lbs of sweet dark cherries

  4. Remove the pits from the hot water using a simmer.
