Ingredients for 4 servings:

  • 500 g fruit (of your choice and season)
  • 1 liter of water
  • 30 g cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp water, cold, for mixing
  • 1 packet of vanilla sugar
  • 150 g sugar
  • e.g. lemon juice, wine or must

Instructions

Working time approx. 35 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 20 minutes; Total time approx. 55 minutes

Place the well-washed, chopped fruit (leave blueberries, pitted cherries, or gooseberries whole!) in the cold water, bring to a boil, and simmer over low heat for 20 minutes. Strain the fruit through a sieve (do not use rhubarb; if using cherries, leave some for garnish). Bring the liquid back to a boil, slowly stir in the mixed cornstarch, and bring back to a boil briefly. Season the soup with vanilla sugar, sugar, and lemon juice (or alternatively, wine or must). Serve the soup hot or cold, as desired. Tip: Use rusks, toasted bread cubes, soup macaroons, French toast, almond rice, or snow dumplings as garnishes.
