Blueberry Soup
- 1 kg blueberries
- 800 ml water
- 6 tbsp maple syrup (or other sweetener)
- 4 tbsp cornstarch/cornflour
- 4 tbsp water (for cornstarch mixture)
- Boil Blueberries: Add the blueberries, 800 ml water, and 6 tbsp maple syrup to a pot. Bring it to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat and let it simmer gently for 5-7 minutes to soften the berries and release their flavor.
- Thicken Soup: In a small bowl, combine 4 tbsp cornstarch with 4 tbsp water, stirring until smooth. Slowly pour this mixture into the simmering soup while continuously stirring to prevent lumps. The soup will thicken rapidly.
- Simmer to Finish: Allow the soup to simmer for an additional 2 minutes to cook off the raw starch flavor and thicken fully. Then remove the pot from heat and let the soup cool to room temperature.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the soup until cold. Serve chilled, garnished with a dollop of cream, yogurt, or a scoop of ice cream for a creamy contrast and extra indulgence.
Notes
- You can substitute maple syrup with honey, agave nectar, or sugar based on your preference.
- For a smoother texture, puree the soup after cooking before chilling.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Blueberry soup can be served as a dessert or a refreshing snack.
