My Classic International Recipes Cookbook states: Scandinavians consume Berry Soup as fast as the berries ripen. Some people eat this delightful soup with sour cream as an appetizer; others top it with whipped cream to make a dessert. Ingredients:
2 cups fresh berries (blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, or one 16 oz bag frozen berries) |
2 cups apple juice |
6 inches cinnamon sticks |
2 whole cloves |
1 tablespoon cornstarch |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
whipped cream or sour cream |
Directions:
1. Clean the berries, if fresh. (Or thaw berries, if frozen). In a sauce pan combine berries, 1 3/4 cups of the apple juice, cinnamon, and cloves. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2. Combine the remaining apple juice and the cornstarch; stir into the berry mixture. Cook and stir till slightly thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir 2 minutes more.
3. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla. Remove and discard the stick cinnamon and whole cloves.
4. Spoon into 4 individual serving bowls. Garnish with whipped cream or sour cream, if desired.
