Red Fruit Soup (Norway) image

Posted for ZWT-6. From the Usborne Children's World Cookbook that Gramma gave to my son when he was first learning to cook. To celebrate the short Scandinavian summer, people make special fruit puddings such as this one. Any berry or combination of berries works, but you may need to adjust the amount of sugar to compensate. Chilling time is unknown, so be sure to make this dessert ahead of time. NOTE: This recipe was printed in the World Cookbook as a pudding. Thanks to UmmIbrahim for taking the time to make and review this recipe. As a result of her findings, I've re-titled it as a soup instead of a pudding. Berry soups are a popular treat in Scandinavia and because of that I've decided it should really be presented as a cold soup. :)

I'm not a fan of fruit soups, but this one is actually pretty good. It's not too sweet, and the berries give it a nice tart flavor.

This soup is too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try making it with less sugar next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my soup turned out too thick. I think I might have added too much cornstarch. Next time, I'll use less.

I've never been a fan of fruit soups, but this one changed my mind. The tartness of the berries was perfectly balanced by the sweetness of the sugar and the creaminess of the milk.
