Chilled Raspberry Soup

2 (10 ounce) packages frozen red raspberries, thawed
2 cups dry red wine (Burgundy works well)
2 1/2 cups water
1 (3-inch) cinnamon stick
1/4 cup Splenda sugar substitute
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
Whipped cream

Combine the raspberries, wine, water, cinnamon, and sugar substitute in a deep, stainless steel saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer over heat for 15 minutes.

Press the raspberry mixture through a sieve placed over a bowl to catch the juices. Discard the seeds.

In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup of the raspberry liquid and the cornstarch, stirring well. Bring remaining liquid to a boil. Reducing the heat to low, stir in the cornstarch mixture. Stirring constantly, cook until slightly thickened. Chill for 6 to 8 hours.

Serve chilled soup with a dollop of freshly whipped cream.

Makes 6 (1-cup) servings.
