Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup dry white wine
  • 5 peaches peeled & sliced
  • 1/4 cup seedless cucumber peeled & finely chopped
  • 1 Limoneira® lemon zest & juice
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 sprig fresh mint chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogourt to garnish

Instructions
 

  • Add the white wine, honey, mint leaves, lemon zest & juice, cinnamon, and ginger in a saucepan.
  • Stir over a low heat setting just until the honey has dissolved.
  • Add the peach slices and cucumber, and turn the burner up to a medium setting.
  • Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Stir in the cream, and continue to cook for another 10 to 15 minutes, until the peaches are tender. Adjust the heat if it gets too hot – you don’t want the cream to scorch.
  • Remove from the heat, and allow the soup to cool to room temperature.
  • Once cooled, pour the soup into a blender or food processor, and blend until smooth.
  • Cover, and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled.
  • Serve garnished with a dollop of Greek yogourt swirled into the soup.
