A Cup of New Year’s Eve Soup!
Last night was a wonderful evening – spent in the same way as the previous 25 years or so! Fondue with good friends Debbie and Dennis! One new addition to our meal was this New Year’s Eve Soup. It made a delightful palate cleansing between the spinach-artichoke dip and the fondue! This is a simple soup that just needs a gentle heating – no boiling for this one!
- 1 – 14.5 ounce can tart red cherries
- 1 – 14.5 ounce can chunky fruit cocktail
- 1 large navel orange, peeled and cut into sections (no pith)
- strips of zest from one lemon
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon butter
Combine all ingredients into a small pan over low heat. Cover. Heat through but do not allow to boil. Enjoy!

This soup sounds a good idea between courses. I made your fondue this evening and it was wonderful… thank you for sharing your recipe and tips! Happy New Year!
So glad you enjoyed the fondue! Ours was great last night – best Ritchey has ever made! A very Happy New Year to you, too!
This is most unusual, I’ve not seen a soup like this and it would be wonderful between courses! Happy New Year!
I wanted something a little different! Have a wonderful new year!
How interesting, a holiday fruit soup! Did you serve this as an appetizer or dessert?
I served it after the appetizer and before the main course. It was excellent as something very different – light and fruity – between two heavier courses!
This is really interesting, bet it was a hit. Have a great new year.
Yes, Debbie and Dennis loved this soup! You have a wonderful new year, too!
How cool – never would have thought of that in a million years!
Happy, Happy New Year, Phyllis! Looking forward to 2012!
It will be a great year! Thanks for your support, Marie!
What a great idea for a holiday dinner! The last couple such meals have been veritable food fests and having a fruit-based soup course would be a welcome change. And this one sounds delicious!
It was something very different – but worked wonderfully for our new year’s eve celebration! Thanks!
A sweet soup! Was not expecting that, but why not? Sounds delicious and very festive =)
Thanks, Joanne! It was a great soup for the occasion – different, fruity, a little sweet and totally different from fondue and artichoke dip!
What a lovely soup! Very unique. Happy New Year!! 🙂
Thank you, Caroline! Happy New Year!
Totally intrigued by this soup and am lovin the idea.
All the best in you in 2012!
Best wishes for you in the new year, too!
What a great idea after the cheese fondue!
Thanks! It made the meal!
I think that it is so nice to have such a long standing tradition with your friends. It is always nice to add something new and I’m sure the evening was a lot of fun.
