INSTRUCTIONS
OPTIONAL GARNISHES Preparation Time: About 20 minutes to prepare, plus time to simmer and chill. Yield: 5 to 6 servings Brace yourself for a stunningly colorful soup! You can make this up to a day in advance. The seasonings intensify the longer it sits. NOTE: Frozen cherries work very well here. The bonus is that they come already pitted. Defrost them first, and use about 3 cups. 1) Pit and coarsely chop the plums. Place them in a medium-sized saucepan with the cherries, salt, and orange juice. Heat to boiling, then turn the heat down to very low. Cover and simmer about 5 minutes. 2) Add ginger and mustard. Cover and simmer 15 minutes longer. 3) Remove from heat; stir in honey and orange zest. Let cool to room temperature, then puree in a blender or food processor. Transfer to a container with a tight-fitting lid, cover, and chill until very cold. 4) Whisk in the buttermilk or yogurt just before serving. Top each bowlful with a swirl of extra buttermilk, a scattering of fresh mint leaves, and thin slices of kiwifruit. www.molliekatzen.com 2/99 Recipe by: Adapted from "The Enchanted Broccoli Forest."
