ORANGE STRAWBERRY SOUP

Apelsin- och jordgubbssoppa

Serves 4

Fresh juice from 2 oranges

1.6 cups frozen strawberries

0.8 cup water

0.4 cup sugar

1 tablespoon potato starch

+ 3 tablespoons water

Anise pudding:

1.2 cup heavy cream

1 tablespoon sugar

1 star anise

1 gelatin sheet

or ½ teaspoon gelatin powder

Mix orange juice, strawberries, water and sugar in a saucepan. Bring to a boil and simmer until the berries are barely tender. Pass the soup through a sieve or mix it and strain afterwards. Pour the soup back in the saucepan. Thicken with potato starch stirred with some cold water and bring just to boiling point. Set aside to cool.

Bring cream, sugar and star anise to a boil. Simmer for 5 minutes. Soak the gelatin for 10 minutes in cold water and melt it in the cream. Take up the anise and pour the cream in 4 egg cups. Store cold until set, about 1 hour. Dip the bottom of the cups in hot water and unmould the puddings in deep plates. Pour the cool soup around them and serve.

Enjoy!
