Berry Soup

"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.""

  1. If you want to try something a little different, try this for breakfast over peanut butter toast. It is absolutely delicious!
     
  2. Made your recipe as given using frozen berries, & the soup was really great! Loved the flavor, & the ease of preparation! Will be making this again, using a different berry combo! Thanks so much for sharing the recipe! [Made & reviewed in Zaar Stars recipe tag]
     
  3. Yum! This was so yummy and refreshing! What a wonderful idea to use up all these blueberries I have here. Thanks for another winner, breezermom.
     
  4. Very nice! We enjoyed this with just a dot of cream as a nice dessert. Made using a mix of blue berries, blackberries, and strawberries. Like that there is only the natural sweetness of the barriers and the apple juice. Thanks so much for the post.
     
  5. This soup has a lovely flavour and it made the whole house smell great. I fell in love with cold fruit soups while cruising with Norwegian Cruise Lines. This wasn't exactly like their berry soup and I am not sure how to get it there. It does taste lovely. I added about a 1/2 cup of half and half milk to it before putting it in the fridge just to see if it would give the creaminess I remembered. The cinnamon and cloves are absolutely perfect. I should have had enough sense to wrap them in some cheesecloth as, of course, I couldn't find the cloves! I just tell them it is a prize. Thanks for sharing your recipe. Made for ZWT - X-tra Hot Dishes.
