Spiced Rhubarb Soup and a Lovely Blueberry Coffee Cake

This is my very first attempt at a chilled fruit soup and it was just lovely.


Spiced Rhubarb Soup
Ingred;

4c. Rhubarb, diced
3/4c. sugar
4 cinnamon sticks
1t. whole cloves
1/4t. salt
3-1/2T. cornstarch
1 lemon slice
vanilla yogurt

Bring 3-1/4c. water, rhubarb, sugar, cinnamon, cloves, and salt to a boil. Simmer for about 20 min. Strain off pulp and return liquid to pot, bring to a boil, mix corn starch and 1/4c. water and whisk in. Cook until thickened, place lemon slice in bowl and pour hot soup over it. Cover and chill 3 hours. Garnish with yogurt.

This was delicious, we really enjoyed it. Mr. K my little experimenter wants me to try making rhubarb jello, he is becoming a big rhubarb fan apparently :)

Also here's picture of the Blueberry Poppyseed Coffee Cake the recipe for this is on my Muffin post.

  3. I'm "jonesin'" for a piece of that coffee cake. The soup is beautiful. I remember rhubarb as being very sour when I was little. I've been hesitant to try it as an adult but this may be the impetus to do so!
