Norwegian Sweet Soup Recipes

SWEDISH SWEET SOUP

Steps:

• Place the tapioca in a bowl with enough water to cover, and soak 8 hours, or overnight.
• Fill a large saucepan with the 2 quarts water, and mix in the prunes, raisins, sugar, and cinnamon. Bring to a boil, and stir in the soaked tapioca. Stirring often, cook 30 minutes, or until tapioca is clear and prunes are tender. Mix in the lemon juice and salt at the end of the cook time. Chill until completely cooled before serving.

NORWEGIAN PUMPKIN SOUP

Steps:

• In a wide pan over medium heat, heat oil. Add onion and 1/2 teaspoon salt; sauté until softened, 5 minutes. Add pumpkin and mace, and stir well to coat. Sauté 5 minutes more, stirring to prevent browning.
• Add hot stock, and bring to a boil. Partly cover with a lid, and simmer until pumpkin is tender, about 15 minutes.
• Pour soup into a large jug or bowl, and add 2 cups grated cheese. Allow mixture to cool for about 15 minutes. With a blender, purée soup in batches. Return purée to a clean saucepan, and reheat over medium-low heat. Adjust salt to taste, and ladle into four soup bowls. Garnish each bowl with a sprinkling of remaining cheese, and serve.
