Tastes – Chilled Nectarine Soup – Pink Beach Club, Tuckers Town, Bermuda

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.
