Chilled Peach Soup made with fresh peaches, sugar, cream & vanilla! Cool off with this unique peaches & cream dessert!
Chilled peach soup isn’t a meal. It’s a dessert, but gosh, if it doesn’t sound like a tempting dinner idea on a hot summer’s day. I was introduced to it on a cruise, and of course, I had to try to come up with something similar. I love the fresh peaches and cream taste in every scoop, and I’m sure you will too.
This recipe is a perfect blend of sweet, fresh, creamy, and rich. It’s not too light or too heavy, giving you a perfect balance of flavors and textures in every bite. If you’re having a dinner party, you can serve it as the first course as a treat-like appetizer, or you can serve it at the end as a dessert. Either way, it’s always unexpected but well received.
What is chilled peach soup?
Whether you treat it like an appetizer or a dessert, the results are the same: a satisfied tummy and a bowl licked clean. This chilled soup recipe is a simple and basic treat that’s pretty easy to prepare but will require a few hours to chill in the fridge before serving, so plan accordingly. You can blend it until smooth in a blender or a food processor.

–Peaches: We will need 3 cups of sliced and peeled peaches, preferably fresh & ripe.

When to serve chilled peach soup
This soup would be a great dish served on anniversaries or at a dinner party but could be just as much fun serving up to the kids on a boring weeknight.
Can I replace half & half with more milk?
While yes, you could definitely make this swap, the big difference will be that the end results are less creamy. If you’re okay with that, then go for it!
How long is leftover peach soup good for?
This chilled soup can be kept stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 or 4 days. I recommend eating it while it’s fresher for the best tasting results, but since this dish doesn’t take any reheating, it’s even more convenient to grab and eat.

I didn't see where there was sugar in the recipe amounts, but then you said to stir until the sugar dissolves? Just checking to see if that made sense….
Amanda Petersen says
you're right! sorry, i just added it in- i put in about 1 tbsp. (to taste)- it depends how ripe your peaches are, and how sweet you'd like your soup!
Lynn Morgan says
In the directions where it says to blend until smooth, is that in a blender or did you do it some other way. I also went on a cruise and had this soup, it was delicious. I cannot wait to try it!
Jessica says
