Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh blueberries
- 250 milliliters water
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 tablespoons plain yogurt or sour cream (optional, for garnish)
- 4 pieces fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse the fresh blueberries under cold water and set them aside to drain.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the blueberries, water, and granulated sugar. Place the pan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries have softened and begun to release their juices.
Using a spoon or a potato masher, gently mash the blueberries in the saucepan for a smoother consistency. Leave some small chunks if you prefer a more textured soup.
Add the lemon juice, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract to the saucepan. Stir well to combine and let the mixture simmer for another 2 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the soup cool for 10-15 minutes. Then, use an immersion blender or a countertop blender to puree the soup until smooth.
Transfer the soup to a large bowl, cover it, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until chilled.
Before serving, give the soup a quick stir. Ladle it into individual bowls and garnish with a dollop of plain yogurt or sour cream and a fresh mint leaf, if desired.
Serve chilled and enjoy!
