HUNGARIAN CHERRY SOUP

I just ran across this recipe on IsraelNationalNews.com. I remember savoring this soup as a little boy in Germany. I’ve only had it a few time since I’ve been in the U.S. Chilled cherry soup will make an excellent first course for any dinner. I’m posting the recipe because it you’ll try it, I know you will like it.
