Chilled Sour Cherry Soup with Tarragon

The herbal, anise-like flavor of fresh tarragon has a savory yet sweet quality that plays off the almond-like nuances of late spring’s fresh sour cherries. This first-course soup of Hungarian origin features a bracing sweet-sour theme that’s meant to whet the appetite for the dishes to come.
