I have quite a bit of frozen cherries in my freezer and was thinking about how to use some. I've heard of sour cherry soup but have never indulged. I made it yesterday and thought it was pretty easy and very refreshing on a hot summer day.

1 1/2 quarts of water
3 Tbs. flour
1 cup sour cream
1/2 tsp. of salt
1 pound of fresh or frozen pitted sour cherries (Do not use canned) - about 3 cups
3/4 cup granulated sugar

Into a soup pot containing 1 1/2 quarts of boiling water add granulated sugar and whisk to dissolve, then add fresh or frozen sour cherries . Stir and cook.
In a separate bowl mix flour, sour cream, salt and beat until smooth.
Add to flour mix, 1 cup of hot cherry sugar mix. Stir vigorously.
Now add the flour, sour cream and hot cherry mix into the pot of hot soup, stir well and simmer for 5 or 6 minutes until it thickens.
Cover the soup and let cool. Keep cover on while it chills in refrigerator and it will not form a thick skin.
Serve very cold.
