Soupe de Cerise, Tuiles Noisette et Romarin

[Swimming Cherries, Hazelnut Rosemary Tuiles]

I have a new piece appearing today in NPR's weekly Kitchen Window column. The recipe I am sharing this time is for a chilled cherry soup that you can serve with hazelnut rosemary wafers, a variation on the typically French tuile.

The metric measurements are below.
