Cold Buttermilk Soup

⁽¹⁾

This recipe was unique, delicious, and very quick and easy to make. I would suggest beating the egg yolks very well so they don't separate in the soup (since neither the yolks nor the soup will be cooked). Some people may want to cut down on the amount of sugar called for if you would like a soup that's a little less sweet. Because of the pale color of the soup it would look very elegant to float a colorful pansy or some other edible flower on the soup just before serving. You should definitely give this soup a try!

I can't waite until I bake them and gift wrap them for Xmas to hand them out to my family and friends. Thank you so much for the receipe. My family and I will enjoy them for this Xmas and other days for the coming years. They are so wonderful.
