Canyon Ranch’s Cold Peach Soup Recipe

This cold peach soup recipe from Canyon Ranch also makes for a light and refreshing dessert.

You can substitute apricots or nectarines for the peaches, Canyon Ranch says. To peel these fruits easily, try this technique often used to remove tomato skins: Put fruit in a bowl, cover with boiling water and let sit for a minute. Pour off hot water and let cool. The skins will slide right off! And, to get more lemon juice out of a lemon, microwave the whole lemon (no poking of holes needed) on high for 1 minute. Be careful; it will be hot.
