Description

This cool plum soup is a wonderfully refreshing dessert, especially on warm summer days. The sweetness of the plums harmonizes perfectly with the light acidity and fine spices. The meringue dumplings, tender and airy, are the icing on the cake and make the soup something special. I like to make it when I have guests because it can be prepared well in advance and looks great. The preparation is a bit more complex, but the result is worth it! A great vegetarian dessert for festive occasions.
