Steps
Making a delicious fruktsoppa old fashioned fruit soup is easy and fun! Here's how to do it step-by-step:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups chopped fresh or frozen fruits (such as apples, pears, peaches, blueberries, and raspberries)
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 4 whole cloves
- 2 cardamom pods
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
1. In a large pot, combine the chopped fruits, water, sugar, cinnamon stick, cloves, and cardamom pods. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
2. Reduce the heat to low and let the fruit soup simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the fruits are soft and mushy.
3. Remove the cinnamon stick, cloves, and cardamom pods from the pot using a slotted spoon. Discard them or save them for another use.
4. Use an immersion blender or transfer the fruit soup to a blender and blend until smooth. Alternatively, you can leave some of the fruits chunky for texture.
5. Return the fruit soup to the pot and stir in the vanilla extract. Taste and adjust the sugar if needed.
6. Serve the fruktsoppa old fashioned fruit soup hot or cold, garnished with fresh mint leaves if desired. Enjoy!
