Review of last recipe - Really tasty, although I did omit the mushrooms (not that big a fan of raw mushrooms; even with dressing on them).  I used store bought spicy sausage stuffed raviolis, and it was a big hit with the husband.

TODAY'S RECIPE - COLD BLUEBERRY SOUP
This was clipped out of Bon Appetit from a reader requesting this recipe from The Common Man in Ashland, NH.  The restaurant (and many more of the same name) is still in existence, but the soup is no longer on the menu.  Perhaps it's a special during the summer months.

My first time making and eating a cold fruit based soup.

8 servings

6 cups blueberries
5 cups water
1 cup sugar
2 medium lemons, thinkly sliced
1 3" cinnamon stick
1/2 tsp mutmeg
1/4 tsp allspice
4 1/2 cups sour cream
1 cup dry red wine

Combine blueberries, water, sugar, lemon and spices in large saucepan and bring to boil over high heat.  Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer 15 minutes.

Strain mixture into large bowl, discarding cinnamon stick and lenon peel (reserve pulp for use on ice cream or toast, if desired).  Cover and chill thoroughly.  Just before serving, whisk in sour cream and wine.
