Wild Blueberry Soup Recipe

Marjorie Drucker created this recipe. Marjorie and her husband Paul own the New England Soup Factory restaurants in Boston. When I read about her series of chilled soups, I just had to blend them into our fruit course offerings at the Palmer House Inn. They are smooth, refreshing and so nutritious on a warm Autumn morning.

Serves 8 to 10

Ingredients:

• 3 pints of fresh blueberries
• 4 cups cranberry-blueberry juice blend or plain cranberry juice
• ¾ cups of white wine
• 1 cup of orange juice
• 1 tablespoon of orange zest
• ½ teaspoon of cinnamon
• ½ cup of packed brown sugar
• 2 cups of sour cream
• ¼ teaspoon of salt

Wild Blueberry Soup Recipe Directions:

In a 6-quart soup pot, place the blueberries, cranberry-blueberry juice, wine, orange juice, zest, cinnamon and brown sugar. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat and puree the soup in the pot with a hand-held blender until the ingredients are mixed. With the blender running add the sour cream, one cup at a time. Puree the mixture until it is smooth and season with the salt. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.

I enjoy serving the soup in parfait dishes with an edible flower floating on top.
