Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the peaches and blanch them for 3 to 4 minutes until the skin comes off easily. As soon as they are done, run cold water over them and peel the skin off. Cut them in half and remove the seed. Set aside.
Place all ingredients in a medium size sauce pan and bring to a boil. Add the peaches, cut side down. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer the peaches until they are very soft.
Place the peaches in a blender or food processor and blend or process until they are completely smooth. Remove to a bowl.
Add the liquid to the blender and blend it. Combine the two. Store in the refrigerator.
Notes
This can be made days ahead and refrigerated. Stir before serving as it will separate. Serve this with Amaretti cookies and a small scoop of vanilla ice cream in the middle of the soup in each bowl if desired.
