The Hill Team enjoys chilled soups. We were delighted when Pink Beach Club said they would like to share some of their culinary masterpieces on our Where & What in the World Blog to bring a taste of Bermuda to you. My own first experience with chilled fruit soup was in Bermuda–many years ago.

Whether you prefer a chilled nectarine soup, Bermuda fish chowder, caramelized Barbary duck, or char-grilled rack of New Zealand lamb, the upscale – Pink Beach Club (http://www.PinkBeach.com) located in Tuckers Town, Bermuda, – has a dish to satisfy every palate.

This is a favorite.

Chilled Nectarine Soup:

1 pound vine ripened nectarines, cut into small pieces

2 cups apple juice

2 cups gewurztraminer (German White Wine, Riesling can be substituted)

2 ounces tapioca

honey to taste

Directions:

On medium heat, simmer the nectarines in the apple juice until very tender – approximately 10 minutes.

Blend the nectarines and juice in a blender until thoroughly combined.

Add honey to taste, starting with 1 teaspoon.

Strain mixture through a fine strainer.

Add tapioca.

Simmer on heat for 15 minutes.

Add wine.

Remove from heat and chill in the refrigerator 3-4 hours before serving.
