5 from 122 reviews

Chilled Swedish Blueberry Soup is a refreshing and lightly sweetened dessert soup made from fresh blueberries simmered and thickened into a smooth, cool treat. Perfect for warm days, this traditional Scandinavian recipe combines naturally tart berries with a touch of maple syrup and a creamy finish.

Ingredients

Scale

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)

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
