Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups blueberries
- 2 cups water
- 0.5 cups orange juice
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 0.125 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the blueberries, water, orange juice, honey, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, lemon zest, and salt.
Heat the mixture over medium heat until it comes to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the blueberries to soften and break down.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool for about 10 minutes.
Using an immersion blender or regular blender, puree the soup until smooth. If using a regular blender, work in batches if necessary and be cautious with the hot liquid.
Chill the soup in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, whisk in the plain Greek yogurt to add creaminess.
Ladle the chilled soup into bowls and garnish with fresh mint leaves, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Spiced Blueberry Soup as a light appetizer or refreshing dessert!
