Method

  1. Rinse the rosehips. Crush dried hips. Boil in water till soft.
  2. Press through a colander. Measure the pulp and dilute with water if necessary.
  3. Bring the pulp to a boil and add sugar. Add more sugar if it is too tart.
  4. Mix potato flour with some cold water. Thicken the soup while you stir and bring to a boil. Add blanched and shredded almond.

Notes

  • Hot soup is often served with vanilla ice cream and/or macaroons.
  • Cold soup can be diluted to make a nice thirst-quencher.
  • The Icelandic recipe differs in that it contains less sugar (approx. 1 tbsp) and cornstarch is used to thicken it, not potato flour.
