Crush the reserved cherry stones and wrap them in a muslin bag.

Remove from heat and allow to cool until just warm before removing the bag.

Pulse the cherry mixture in a food processor until smooth.

Pass the soup through a fine sieve into a bowl.

Season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice.

Serve warm with a swirl of sour cream and walnut bread.
