Overview

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Sour cherry soup is a soup made with sour cream, sugar, and whole fresh sour cherries, chilled and slightly sweet. This soup is a summer delicacy in several European cuisines. The dish has been adopted by the Austrians, Poles, Slovaks and Germans. Hungarian-Americans and Hungarian-Canadians brought the soup to the New World. In the Hungarian cuisine Sour Cherry Soup or hideg meggyleves is a soup made of the fruits of the sour cherry tree (Prunus cerasus), and not of sweet cherry. The name is formed from hideg meaning ''cold'', meggy meaning ''sour-cherries'' / morellos, and leves being ''soup''. Traditionally served as a dinner course--usually as either the appetizer, soup or dessert - on warm summer nights or hot summer luncheons. The soup is cooked with whole sour cherries, including the pits. Sour cherry trees are numerous in Hungary, and the soup is a good example of the quintessentially Hungarian fusion of Eastern/Asian influences and traditional Continental European cuisine.
