Eat Together, Make Life Delicious...

Yes, you read that correctly: Peach Biscuit Soup.

It's all the rage in my house with the kids. And when I take a nibble, just to check the flavor, I have to say...it's surprisingly good. But if you are watching your weight or have promises to stay away from carbs (like I do!) the aroma is enough to satisfy!

Peach Biscuit Soup

For the Biscuits:
1¾ cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
¼ cup granulated sugar
½ cup cream cheese, chopped into ½-inch cubes
1 cup milk

For the Peach Sauce:
2 dead ripe peaches, pitted and finely chopped (skin on is fine)
1 cup apple or peach juice
¼ cup maple syrup
optional: a handful of blueberries

Heat the oven to 375 degrees with the rack placed in the center. Mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until it is well combined. Add the cream cheese and lightly toss without overworking the flour. Add in the cream and mix until the batter comes together. Do not overwork the batter or the biscuits will become tough. With a round 3-inch cookie cutter, or a cup, cut out approximately 8 biscuits and place them on a silpat-lined sheet pan. Bake for 15 minutes, until golden.

Meanwhile prepare the peach sauce. In a small sauce pot over medium high heat combine the peaches and juice. Cook the sauce for 10 minutes while stirring occasionally. If the liquid evaporates, add in a little water. When the peaches turn soft, reduce the heat to medium low and add in the maple syrup and cook the sauce for another 3 minutes. Turn off the heat and set aside to rest.

To assemble, place a biscuit in a shallow bowl and spoon the peach sauce over it. Add in a little liquid and let the biscuit sit for a minute to absorb it. Add in a handful of the optional blueberries for garnish. Serve immediately with a spoon.
