1 ¼ cup blueberries (about 200 g)

Blueberry Soup
Semolina Porridge
Directions
Blueberry Soup
Bring the water to boil in a pan/kettle.
Add sugar and blueberries and stir until the sugar dissolves.
Let boil for 10 minutes.
Crush the blueberries with the help of a strainer to another dish.
Store the blueberry extras (skins, seeds etc) to the fridge and enjoy later with yogurt or porridge.
Pour the blueberry liquid back to the pan.
Mix cold water and cornstarch and add it to the pan, stirring.
Stir and let boil for 2-3 minutes.
Let the soup cool down, and add sugar on top before putting it to the fridge (to prevent a skin)
Semolina Porridge
Bring the milk to boil (use a teflon pan to avoid burns)
Add semolina, whisking
Bring to boil and let it simmer for 10 min, stirring occasionally.
Add salt, stir and taste.
Enjoy warm or lukewarm, or cold from the fridge, with cold blueberry soup.

Recipe Note
Finns also like to drink the blueberry soup as such, without anything else. This kind of berry and fruit soups are widely available in Finland in supermarkets. Try this easy recipe and you might love it too.
Healthy and delicious - what more can you wish for? Well it looks good too!
In Finland, usually potato starch is used instead of cornstarch, but because it's not available in many countries, I made this recipe with cornstarch.
