You were told right. This ethereal Hungarian soup is the first adult food
my now 7yo daughter ever ate. (Good choice.) I have been making this for
ca 30 years (like Kara, I started young)!

Combine liquid from cherries plus water to equal 3 cups, wine, sugar, and
cinnamon in large pot. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Add cherries and
simmer 10 more minutes. Remove cinnamon. Mix arrowroot and water and stir
into soup. Cook and stir for a few more minutes. Chill we.. Add cream just
before serving. Jean B. via recipelu
