Chilled Peach Soup with Ginger, Honey & Yogurt
Forget peaches 'n' cream. Go for this chilled soup, spiced up with ginger, honey and Greek yogurt. You'll want to use really high-quality monovarietal Greek honey to make this soup extra special. You can find a range as well as other artisinal Greek products at my online shop here, where you'll discover a host of lovingly curated Greek ingredients.
