2 cups fresh fruit
5 to 6 cups boiling water

Sugar to taste
Lemon juice
1/2 cup or more sweet cream
Grated lemon rind

Directions:
|
Cook the fruit in the boiling water until tender. Press through a sieve. Blend the flour with a few tablespoons of cold water to a smooth paste, stir into the soup, and bring to a boil. Sweeten to taste ad add some lemon juice for tartness. Cool slightly. Stir in enough cream to get the desired creamy consistency. Chill thoroughly. Serve in well chilled cups or soup bowls. Garnish with the grated lemon rind. Serve the soup as a first course with Croutons for Fruit Soups or Noodle Puffs.
CROUTONS: Remove the crusts from slices of dry bread, ad butter the bread generously. Cut into cubes and brown in a moderate oven 350 F.
For chilled fruit soup, put several croutons into each serving of soup, or serve them separately.
For savory soups, use flavored croutons, rub the bread with a clove of garlic before buttering and toasting it.
FOR NOODLE PUFFS: Follow the recipe for Lokshyna (Egg Noodles). Roll the dough, but do not dry it as for noodles. Fold the dough in half and cut out small rounds through the double thickness, using a very small cookie cutter or a large thimble dipped in flour. Press the edges so they hold together. Fry in deep fat to a delicate golden color. Drain on absorbent paper. These puffs are good with chilled fruit soups.

A chilled fruit soup is very refreshing on a hot summer day. Any fresh fruit or a combination of several kinds may be used. The soup may or may not be thickened with flour, depending on personal preference.
