Chilled Peach Soup with Labneh is my recipe of the day with the Soup Swappers blogging group. We get together once a month to post recipes on soups, stews and the like.
This month the topic Camilla chose is for Summertime soups, either chilled or hot.
Allez Bakery Inspired
I decided to do a soup I saw a picture of on Facebook that a local bakery shared: Allez Bakery and their similarly titled version.
All I had to go on was the title, the picture, and that it had peaches, labneh and aji amarillo pepper in it.
I was intrigued, loved their photo and also remembered I had some aji paste on hand. So since I couldn’t get down there to do the lunch special, thought it a great idea for a summer soup.
Not Much Cooking
The only cooking in it is to blanch and peel the peaches which is quite simple. Everything else spins up in the blender or food processor.
It’s not overly hot-spicy despite the addition of the aji. You’ll find that the labneh, which is like a Middle Eastern version of very thick plain Greek yogurt, settles it quite easily.
This is perfect for a starter, although probably not hearty enough for a main course. You might get away serving this alongside a summery salad or perhaps a small cold cuts sandwich. Definitely giving it that summertime feel.

I love making labneh so I have been dying to see this recipe since I saw your title. Mega yum, I love aji too, and they seem like such a perfect combo.
What a beautiful and intriguing flavor profile – this looks so fresh!
I can’t wait to hear how yours compares to the restaurant’s!
I didn’t get a chance to get down there so unless they make it again and I am there, I can only wonder.
It sounds wonderful. Loving the flavor profile.
I had never heard of labneh before, so I learned about a new food today. Your soup sounds delicious and refreshing.
Just think “very thick Greek yogurt” and you’re pretty much there.
