Strawberry or Blueberry Soup [Polish]

Source: Vegetarian Resource Group

 

(Serves 4)

 

Sweet flavors figure very highly in Polish cuisine. Until only a few years

ago, many kitchens had very few appliances or conveniences. Sweet soups made

with fresh fruit were an easy way to create dessert items in basic kitchens.

If you must, you can use frozen, thawed berries instead of fresh.

 

1 pound fresh strawberries or blueberries, cleaned well

11/4 cups water

3 Tablespoons vegan granulated sweetener

1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1/2 cup soy or rice coffee creamer or vanilla

soy or rice ice cream

Optional: 2 cups cooked, cooled noodles

 

Place fruit in a medium pot, add water and bring to a quick boil. Reduce

heat, cover and allow to simmer for 20 minutes or until fruit is very

soft.Place in blender and purée. Return purée to pot, add sugar, lemon juice

and cream or ice cream. Stir and allow to simmer for 5 minutes. Chill soup

for at least 2 hours before serving. It is traditional to eat this soup on

its own or served over cold noodles.
