Elderberry Soup image

Another fine summery soup - refreshing, light, and different! Elderberries are common in my native Germany. This soup may be served hot or cold, but is better cold as a summer treat. Serve with gingersnaps crumbled into each serving. Drizzle in heavy cream, if desired.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover elderberries. I have a tree in my backyard, and I always have a lot of extra berries at the end of the season. This soup is a delicious way to use them up.
