CHERRY SOUP
My grandmother had talked about her cherry soup recipe for years, so when I received some of our state's famous Door County cherries, I just had to try it. My family liked it so well that I froze several quarts so we could enjoy it all winter! -Sue Bronholz, Beaver Dam, Wisconsin

COLD CHERRY SOUP
Many versions of cold cherry soup originated in Hungary and Poland, where cooks would use sour cherries and a lot of sugar. Traditional cherry soups also are made with sour cream and heavy cream, and sometimes they are thickened with flour. I like this lighter version, which is made with drained yogurt instead of cream.

Steps:
- Pit the cherries, and place the pitted cherries in a bowl and the pits in a large soup pot. Add the water to the pot, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer five minutes. With a skimmer, remove the pits from the water. Add the sugar, red wine, salt and lemon zest, and bring back to a boil over medium-high heat. Boil five minutes, then add the cherries. Bring to a simmer, turn the heat to low, cover and simmer five minutes. Remove from the heat.
- Place the yogurt in a large bowl and slowly whisk in a cup of the liquid from the soup once it is no longer simmering. Whisk until the mixture is smooth. Slowly add the rest of the soup, and whisk or stir until smooth. Allow to cool, stirring from time to time, then refrigerate until cold. Before serving, you will have to stir or whisk again, as the liquid and yogurt will separate. Still, the soup is easily homogenized.
- Serve in bowls or in glass tumblers. If you wish, garnish with additional halved, pitted fresh cherries.

CHERRY DUMPLINGS
My Grandmother used to make this for my mother when she was a child, and my Mom made it for us, alot. It was requested very often in our household. I now make it for my daughter (and my husband) on a regular basis, at least once every two weeks. It is the ultimate in comfort food. My daughter loves it reheated for breakfast. Hope you all enjoy this age old recipe!

Steps:
- In a large dutch oven, combine tart cherries (including the juice), sugar, water, cinnamon and almond oil.
- Bring to a boil.
- In the meantime, mix together the Bisquick baking mix and milk.
- When cherries have come to a boil, drop dumplings into cherry mixture by tablespoonfuls until all the dumpling mixture is used.
- Lower heat to medium and cook uncovered for 10 minutes, then cover and cook for an additional 10 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let stand 20 minutes, covered.
Tips:
- Choose the right cherries: Use fresh, ripe, and sweet cherries for the best flavor. Tart cherries can also be used, but they will give the soup a more sour taste.
- Pit the cherries: Use a cherry pitter to remove the pits from the cherries. If you don't have a cherry pitter, you can use a paring knife to cut around the pit and then pop it out.
- Make the dumplings ahead of time: The dumplings can be made up to 24 hours ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator. This will save you time when you're ready to make the soup.
- Don't overcook the dumplings: The dumplings should be cooked through but still slightly firm. Overcooked dumplings will become tough and chewy.
- Serve the soup hot: Cherry dumpling soup is best served hot, with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream on top.
Conclusion:
Cherry dumpling soup is a delicious and comforting dessert soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its sweet and tart flavor, cherry dumpling soup is a surefire hit with people of all ages.
