Roasted Peach Soup

Serves 4

From the Explorer of the Seas

4 large peaches peeled and pitted

1 ½ cups of sugar

2 cups of peach juice

2 mint sprigs

1 vanilla bean – split and seeds extracted

1 star anise, cracked

2 lemons, juiced

½ pint strawberries – washed

Pre-heat oven to 400, lightly coat a baking sheet with butter. Place the peach halves-cut side down on the sheet. Sprinkle the peaches with 1 cup of sugar and bake for 15 to 20 minutes until well roasted. Transfer the peaches to a food processor along with all the juice. Puree until smooth, stopping 2 or 3 times to scrape down the sides. Transfer to a large bowl and set aside.

In a small saucepan, combine the peach juice and remaining cup of sugar, vanilla bean and star anise; over medium heat bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and let the syrup infuse for about an hour in a warm place.

Strain through a fine sieve and add the citrus juice tasting as you go, slowly add the peach puree until the desired flavor is achieved. (If soup has good flavor but is a little thick, add a little unsweetened peach juice.) Cover and chill in the refrigerator until completely cold.

Serve soup in chilled soup bowls and garnish with strawberries and mint sprigs.

Wow, that Mangospacho sounds wonderful!

 

I've printed up the recipe and will give it to my friend who loves to cook! :D

 

I like to watch him prepare things and then try it on my own. I'm a good cook, he's a great cook!

 

I found the soups on Princess to be incredibly good, espeically the chilled fruit soups.

 

Note to anyone: In any recipe for pumpkin soup, acorn squash can be substituted. Used in a soup recipe, the taste difference between the two is inconsequential.

These are amazing recipes, thanks Carol! While I typically prefer my soup hot, I look forward to trying these cold soups when we take our first cruise in October. I think I may have to try making a few at home to get my husband acclamated to the concept...

 

Thanks again!:)
