Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh or frozen blueberries
- 750 milliliters water
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons potato starch or cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons cold water
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon (optional)
- whipped cream or yogurt (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the blueberries and 750 milliliters of water. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the blueberries to soften and release their juices.
Stir in the granulated sugar, lemon juice, and optional ground cinnamon. Adjust the sugar level to taste if needed.
In a small bowl, mix the potato starch or cornstarch with 3 tablespoons of cold water until smooth and lump-free.
Gradually stir the starch mixture into the simmering blueberry soup, whisking constantly to prevent clumps. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the soup thickens to your desired consistency.
Remove the soup from heat and let it cool slightly. Serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled, depending on your preference.
Garnish with a dollop of whipped cream or a spoonful of yogurt, if desired, and enjoy!
