Elderberry Soup image

Another fine summery soup - refreshing, light, and different! Elderberries are common in my native Germany. This soup may be served hot or cold, but is better cold as a summer treat. Serve with gingersnaps crumbled into each serving. Drizzle in heavy cream, if desired.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my soup turned out really bland. I think I'll try adding more spices next time.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover elderberries. I have a tree in my backyard, and I always have more berries than I know what to do with.

This soup was a bit too tart for my taste, but I think that's just a matter of personal preference. I added a little bit of honey to sweeten it up, and that helped a lot.
