From: Fredy Girardet: By 'Soup', we mean what many people would call a compote.

Serves 4.

Cherry Soup:

• 2-1/4 lb Black Cherries - stoned (about 14 oz.)
  
• 1 oz. unsalted butter
  
• 2 oz. sugar
  
• Kirsch

Soufflé:

• 1 egg yolk
  
• 2 egg whites
  
• 2-1/2 oz. sugar
  
• 1-1/2 oz. lemon juice

• One day in advance, put 400 g (14 oz) stoned cherries into a frying pan with the butter.
• Cook them gently until the juice runs.
• Add the sugar and continue cooking until the sugar slightly caramelises. At this point, pour in a generous dash of kirsch and flambé it.
• Take the pan off the stove.
• Put the cherries into a strainer to drain them, and keep the juice.
  
  
• Just before serving, pre-heat the oven to 500°F (260°C).
  
  
• Divide the cherries between four little soufflé dishes 6 cm (2-3/8 inches) in diameter and just cover them with their juice.
• Prepare the soufflé mixture.
• Put the egg yolk into a basin with 35 g (1-1/4 oz) sugar. Beat it until it becomes pale and fluffy.
• Add half a tablespoon of lemon juice.
  
  
• In another basin, whisk the egg whites to firm peaks with the rest of the sugar, then fold in a tablespoonof lemon juice.
• Fold the whites delicately into the yolk mixture using a spatula.
  
  
• Top up the moulds with the soufflé mixture.
• Bake the Soufflé at the bottom of the pre-heated oven for 5 minutes.
