Rose hip soup, (Swedish: Nyponsoppa) is a soup made of rose hips[2] and is a popular delicacy in Sweden. It is served as a beverage or as a dessert with milk, cream or vanilla ice cream. Tiny almond biscuits are a very common addition when it's eaten as a dessert.
Some also eat it for breakfast, but the types of soup for that purpose are generally a little simpler, meaning, lower in fruit content and a bit more watery. In this case, a few people like to add broken up crisp bread instead.
Description and preparation
Nypon or rose hips are the fruit of common wild roses (Rosa canina) found in Sweden. The hips form after the rose petals have fallen off. They are picked when ripe and red and after the first frost in the fall, then dried.[3] Rose hips have a particularly high amount of Vitamin C.[4] Nyponsoppa is typically made with dried rose hips, water, potato flour (as a thickener), and sugar. The rose hips are boiled until they are soft and then blended with a mixer. The mixture is then run through a sieve and thickened with potato flour.[5]
