Ingredients
  

4 ripe peaches, peeled and diced

1 cup coconut milk (or heavy cream for a richer flavor)

1/2 cup Greek yogurt

2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Pinch of salt

Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Optional: 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Prepare the Peaches: Start by peeling the peaches. You can blanch them in boiling water for about 30 seconds if the skin is tough, then immediately transfer them to ice water to cool before peeling.

    Blend the Base: In a blender, combine the diced peaches, coconut milk, Greek yogurt, honey, lemon juice, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. If you desire a hint of sweetness, you can also add vanilla extract to the mixture.

      Blend Until Smooth: Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, ensuring that no chunks remain. Taste the soup and adjust the sweetness with more honey if desired.

        Chill the Mixture: Pour the soup into a bowl or container and cover it with plastic wrap. Refrigerate the soup for at least 1-2 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the soup to become nicely chilled.

          Serve: Once chilled, give the soup a quick stir. Ladle it into bowls and garnish each serving with a few fresh mint leaves for an aromatic touch.

            Enjoy: Serve immediately as a light appetizer or dessert, letting the refreshing flavors and creamy texture delight your taste buds.
