Cinnamon Peach Soup

2 lb ripe peaches

3 whole cloves

3 allspice berries

3 cardamom pods

2 cups freshly squeezed orange juice

3 tbs fresh lime juice, or to taste

3 tbs to 4 tbs honey or brown sugar(or to taste)

1 t ground cinnamon

1 t ground ginger

1 cup nonfat yogurt

1 tbs diced candied ginger

Drop the peaches in a pot of boiling water and boil for

30 seconds. Rinse them under cold water and slip off

the skins. Pit the peaches and coarsely chop them. Tie

the cloves, allspice, and cardamom in cheesecloth (or

wrap in foil and pierce with fork). Combine the

peaches, spice bundle, orange juice, lime juice, honey, cinnamon, and ginger in a heavy saucepan. (The amount of honey needed well depend on the sweetness of the

peaches.) Simmer for 5-10 minutes, or until the fruit

is very soft. Remove the spice bundle and let the soup

cool to room temperature. Puree the soup in a blender

and chill. Just before serving, whisk in the yogurt

and candied ginger. Correct the seasoning,adding honey

and lime juice to taste. Serve in glass bowls or wine

goblets, garnishing each with a sprig of mint. Serves

4-6.

 

 

 

“If you are discouraged it is a sign of pride, because it shows you trust in your own powers. Never bother about other people's opinions. Be humble and you will never be disturbed. Remember St. Aloysius, who said he would continue to play billiards even if he knew he was going to die. Do you play well? Sleep well? Eat well? These are duties. Nothing is small for God.”
