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.
