🇭🇺 Hungary recipe

Meggyleves

Meggyleves is a chilled sour cherry soup that is uniquely Hungarian, served as a refreshing summer starter or even as a light dessert. Ripe sour cherries are simmered with sugar, cinnamon, and a splash of red wine, then enriched with sour cream to create a beautiful crimson soup that is served ice cold. It is a perfect showcase for Hungary's abundant cherry orchards.
