Cherry soup
Description
Cherry soup is only called "soup" — in fact, it's a very tasty dessert, named "soup" solely due to its liquid consistency. Cherry soup is arguably the most popular dessert in Hungary. During summer, in the short season of fresh cherries, it would be a sin not to treat yourself and your family to this refreshing delicacy at least once. Instead of cherries, you can basically use sour cherries — I've tried it, and it turned out just as good. Serve with fresh herbs and sour cream.
