Ingredients

  • Ingredients
    1. 12 sour or sweet cherries, pitted and halved
    2. 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
    3. 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
    4. 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
    5. 1 small onion, finely chopped
    6. Salt and freshly ground pepper
    7. 1 pound radishes (preferably White Icicle) with fresh greens, radishes thinly sliced
    8. 1 teaspoon thyme leaves
    9. 1 quart chicken stock or low-sodium broth

Directions

  1. In a shallow dish, sprinkle the cherries with the balsamic vinegar.
  2. In a large saucepan, melt the butter. Add the garlic and onion, season with salt and pepper and cook over moderately high heat, stirring frequently, until the onion is softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in the radishes, radish greens and thyme. Add the chicken stock and bring to a boil. Simmer the soup over moderate heat until the radishes are tender, about 10 minutes.
  3. Working in batches, puree the radish soup in a blender and pour it into a saucepan. Reheat the soup and season it with salt and pepper. Ladle the radish soup into bowls, top with the balsamic cherries and serve.
