Fruit is often used to create a wonderful sauce or soup. Of

all the chilled soups using fruit as a main ingredient, this

peach soup is my favorite. You may wish to ask your market

supplier to give you a call when peaches are plentiful and

prices are less expensive.

In the bowl of a food processor, combine peaches, triple sec,

lemon juice, almond extract and salt. Blend on high speed until

pured and very smooth. Add sour cream or yogurt and continue

to pure until well blended. Taste the soup and if a slightly

sweeter taste is desired, you may wish to add a bit of Louisiana

cane syrup, honey or sugar. Remove from processor and place

in a bowl or crock pitcher, cover and refrigerate. Allow to

chill completely.

Serve in punch cups, demitasse or small soup bowls. For added

texture, you may wish to garnish each cup with a teaspoon of

finely chopped fresh peaches.

Yield: 10-12 servings
