Variations

I sometimes replace part of the yogurt with coconut milk for a dairy-free option. When I want a slightly tangier flavor, I add a splash of lime juice instead of lemon.

If I prefer a thinner consistency, I blend in a little extra orange juice. I also enjoy adding fresh berries for extra color and flavor.

storage/reheating

I store the chilled peach soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. I stir it well before serving since natural separation can occur.

This soup is meant to be served cold, so reheating isn’t necessary. If it thickens too much, I add a small splash of juice and stir to adjust the consistency.
