Cherry Soup image

My grandmother had talked about her cherry soup recipe for years, so when I received some of our state's famous Door County cherries, I just had to try it. My family liked it so well that I froze several quarts so we could enjoy it all winter! -Sue Bronholz, Beaver Dam, Wisconsin
