Cherry soup? Interesting idea! I had to resist the lovely cherries at the store. Good price per pound but they were in 5 pound bags - a bit much for one person.
I eat as many as I can, because I love cherries and I live alone, then take the ones left at the bottom of the bag and cook them down with a bit of almond extract, sugar (amount depends on how sweet the cherries were),a bit of lemon juice, some water to keep them from burning to the pan, and some cornstarch. (I maybe had 15 cherries in the last batch I made, so I didn't even bother to pit them and just fished the pits out as the fruits fell apart.) Instant sauce for ice cream or frozen yogurt. I imagine it would be good on Greek yogurt with some toasted almonds, but I haven't tried it yet.

Or I just pit them and freeze them for future use. Last time I made a cherry crisp out of them, but smoothies would be good too. (I don't own a cherry pitter, so I just used a paring knife and fingernails. The kitchen looked like I'd killed someone, but I had a lovely big bag of frozen cherries.)
