This delicious sauce is perfect for more than just an ice cream topping! Try it on brie, as a glaze for pork tenderloin, or a sweet addition to a salad dressing.
This chilled soup is ideal for a summer luncheon , a light dinner, or as a starter for an elegant affair.
It’s nice served with fresh walnut bread and a crisp green salad. It can be made two or three days ahead, allowing all the flavours to marinate. In the recipe below we have used a dry white wine, but a dry red wine is just as tasty. Makes 5 – 4 ounce servings.
1. In a bowl mix all the ingredients together. If you desire a smoother texture place them in a blender and blend on high for 10 seconds. Cover and chill thoroughly, for at least 4 hours - preferably overnight.
2. To finish, spoon the soup into bowls. To each one add a spoonful of crème fraîche or cream. Stir for a marbling effect.
Creme Fraiche
In a small bowl combine the cream and sour cream; mix well. Cover and let sit at room temperature overnight. The mixture should start to thicken and have an almost sour taste. Refrigerate. When cold whisk in the confectioners sugar. Store covered in the refrigerator.
