Sweet Soups - General Cooking Principles
• Sweet soups are made not only from fresh ripe fruits - fruits and berries; dried fruits and even pumpkins are also used.
• Milk soups cooked on whole or diluted milk with added sugar and flavored with vanilla or cinnamon can be attributed to sweet soups.
• “Broth” in berry and fruit sweet soups can consist not only of compotes, cold sweet soups are prepared directly from the pulp of fruits and berries and diluted with ryazhenka, which can be replaced with liquid, drinking yogurt, cream or kefir, if desired.
• Compote for dessert sweet soups can be prepared not only on water, but also on the bases of clarified juices and even in wine diluted with water. In the process of cooking, alcohol evaporates, and the soup is saturated only with the taste of the wine. Of course, the amount of wine in soups is minimal and it is used solely for the sake of giving distinctive, characteristic notes.
• Into the broth, both fruits and berries are injected in small slices, diced or grated. In this form, the pumpkin is usually added.
• In soups, you can add separately boiled cereals, most often it is rice. The recipe for a sweet Latvian-style soup involves adding croutons from rye bread, which are boiled together with berry juice.

When serving dessert (fruit and berry) served with cream, which can be whipped by yourself or use whipped cream in a can. In the dairy put honey or butter.
