Orange Apricot Soup
2 17 oz. cans apricot
halves
1 tsp. finely shredded orange peel
1/2 cup orange juice
1/4 tsp. ground cardamom*
1 8 oz carton plain yogurt
Drain apricots,
reserving syrup. In blender container place reserved
syrup and half the apricots. Add orange peel, juice and cardamom.
Cover and blend
until smooth. Add yogurt and blend until just combined.
Cut up remaining apricots and stir into the
blended ingredients.
Cover and chill. Garnish with thin orange slices if desired. Serves
8-10.
* Cardamom is really
expensive. I use it often enough to have some on
hand. If you
don't wish to make that purchase you can substitute
nutmeg.
