Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 ml dark beer
- 250 ml water
- 100 g granulated sugar
- 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 0.5 tsp ground cardamom
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 100 ml whipped cream (optional for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the dark beer, water, and granulated sugar. Stir to dissolve the sugar.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
In a small bowl, mix the all-purpose flour with a few tablespoons of the beer mixture to form a smooth slurry.
Gradually whisk the flour slurry into the saucepan, ensuring no lumps form. Continue stirring until the liquid thickens slightly.
Add the ground cinnamon, ground cardamom, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir to combine and let the soup simmer gently for an additional 5 minutes.
Remove the pot from heat and allow the soup to cool slightly before serving.
Ladle the warm beer soup into bowls and, if desired, top with a dollop of whipped cream for a creamy finish.
Serve immediately and enjoy this comforting and aromatic Finnish delight!
