One year while catering a holiday event, the hostess asked me to incorporate cases of her mother's jarred plums that she had "put up". So I created an easy, elegant, plum dessert style soup that was a huge hit. It was actually one of the simplest and easiest recipes to execute.

Sagegreen,

Thank you for your kind words. The soup is ok cold, no big deal ...but when served warm w/ cold whipping cream it's the best. The best is when folks self serve fondue style w/ sterno accompanied on side w/ the whipped cream ( on ice).

I LOVE your cream garnish! Lively, spirited and delicious! Beautiful. On the first snowy evening of the season, this make a lovely celebration. I bet you could also eat this cold.
