This is an excellent recipe. It is designed to be eaten in small doses, which is good, because it is pretty intense. I tasted just after cooking, and found I needed to add sugar to my soup, but then my peaches weren't sweet, since it is winter and they don't sell them very ripe at this time of year. The flavors mellowed out and got better after chilling. The garnish of creme fraiche gave it balance, and made the soup more luxurious.

This was so easy and yet so delicious! and the best part -- can be made ahead of time!

This recipe is EASY. Saw it on Dinner Impossible + just had to try it. Perhaps the best part is you make it ahead of time, since it needs to be served CHILLED.

Use Creme Fraiche if at all possible! You could substitute sour cream or plain yogurt, but it is SO EXCELLENT with the Creme Fraiche.

The flavor of this soup is complex with a lot of layers. The white pepper seemed an odd addition to me, but it really does bring out more flavor.

Probably not a big winner for kids. But, for entertaining adults, definitely think about using small demitasse glasses or something similarly small: this soup is really filling and a "typical" soup serving will quickly fill you up.

Also great as a leftover for breakfast!
