In the realm of Norwegian cuisine, a delightful culinary creation known as "Søtsuppe" or Norwegian Sweet Soup holds a special place. This traditional dessert, often served during special occasions and gatherings, is a testament to the country's rich culinary heritage. Søtsuppe is a warm and comforting soup that combines the flavors of dried fruits, such as prunes, raisins, and apricots, with the subtle sweetness of sugar and the aromatic touch of cinnamon. The soup derives its unique texture from the addition of tapioca pearls, which burst with a delightful chewiness in every spoonful. This article presents two variations of Søtsuppe: a classic recipe that stays true to its traditional roots and a modernized version that incorporates a delightful twist with the addition of orange zest and ginger. Both recipes promise a heartwarming and satisfying dessert experience that captures the essence of Norwegian culinary traditions.

  • You can use any type of sugar you like, but granulated sugar or caster sugar works best.
  • If you want a thicker soup, you can add a cornstarch slurry. To make a cornstarch slurry, mix together equal parts cornstarch and water until smooth. Then, add it to the soup and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat and simmer for 1-2 minutes, or until the soup has thickened.
