Chilled Grape Soup

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Soups
This soup crowns the late summer harvest. While fruit soups often evoke school lunch memories, this version, with its spiced syrup and silky cream, resembles a light dessert. The tannins in the grape skins and the acidity of lemon perfectly balance the sweetness of the cream.

Instructions

1 ✓

Wash and pick grapes. Boil water with sugar, cinnamon, cloves, and salt for 5 mins.

Tip: Salt enhances fruit flavor and cuts excessive sweetness.
2 ✓

Add grapes and simmer 5 mins. Don't overcook; keep them crisp.

Tip: Overcooking makes skins detach and looks messy.
3 ✓

Whisk sour cream with milk. Temper by adding a ladle of hot soup, then pour back into pot.

Tip: Tempering prevents the cold dairy from curdling in the hot liquid.
4 ✓

Simmer briefly, remove from heat. Stir in lemon juice.

Tip: Add lemon last to preserve freshness and avoid curdling.
5 ✓

Chill completely (min. 2 hours) and serve ice cold.
