Hot Orange Dessert Soup Recipes

DANISH HOLIDAY FRUIT SOUP (SøDSUPPE)

Steps:

• Bring water to a boil; add sugar and salt.
• Make a paste of the cornstarch and a little water; add to boiling mixture, stirring constantly. Mixture will start to thicken in a minute or two.
• Reduce heat to medium-low; add fruits, tapioca, and cinnamon stocks and boil slowly for 1 hour.
• Remove cinnamon sticks.
• Serve hot or cold.

APPLE SOUP

Steps:

• Core and chop the apples. Put them in a large saucepan with the water, cider, lemon juice, and sugar. Tie the lemon zest, vanilla seeds and pod, cinnamon stick, peppercorns, nutmeg, clove, and star anise in a piece of cheesecloth and add to the pan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and simmer until the apples break down, about 1 hour.
• Remove the cheesecloth sachet and strain the soup through a fine strainer, pushing down on the solids. Line a strainer with at least 4 layers of cheesecloth and set over a bowl. Strain the soup again and put in the refrigerator overnight to clarify.
• Run a 9 x 12-inch rimmed baking sheet under water and shake off the excess. Line the damp pan neatly with plastic wrap.
• Put the vinegar in a small bowl and sprinkle the gelatin over the surface. Let sit for at least 1 minute. Microwave for 30 seconds or heat gently in a saucepan until melted.
• Stir the gelatin into the cider. Strain through a fine strainer. Pour into the baking sheet and refrigerate until set, about 4 hours.
• Heat the oven to 375°F or 350°F on convection.
• Tear off a piece of aluminum foil and make a bed of coarse salt in the center. Set the potato on the salt, wrap tightly, and roast until the potato is very soft, about 1 1/2 hours. Unwrap. When the potato is cool enough to handle, peel it and put the flesh through a food mill.
• Line a strainer with several layers of cheesecloth. Put the potato puree in the strainer, cover with cheesecloth, and set over a bowl. Put a weight on it and let sit for at least 1 hour to get rid of the excess liquid.
• Taste the puree for salt. Put it in a bowl and make a well in the center. Add the flour, sugar, and 3 tablespoons of the egg. Mix together to make a smooth dough. Transfer to a pastry bag with a 1/2-inch opening (you do not need a tip).
• Pour the soup into a saucepan and warm it. Cut the gelée into small cubes.
• Bring a saucepan of water to a boil. Reduce the heat so you have an active simmer. Use one hand to pipe the gnocchi batter and your other hand to cut off 3/4-inch lengths with a pair of scissors or a paring knife into the water. Cook, stirring gently, until the gnocchi rise to the surface. Remove with a slotted spoon and put in small bowls.
• Ladle the warm soup over the gnocchi and garnish with a spoonful of crème fraîche and a few cubes of the gelée. Serve right away, with the tempura on the side.
• You could serve the soup with just the gnocchi or just the tempura.

TRIPLE ORANGE DESSERT SOUP

Steps:

• Cut ends from all of the fruit, and then cut off the skin and bitter white pith with a paring knife. Cut the citrus segments out from the membrane and carefully put the segments in a shallow bowl, taking care to keep them whole. Squeeze the leftover peels and membranes over another bowl to get out any remaining juice.
• Gently stir sugar and salt into juice, pour over fruit, and divide into soup plates. Cover and refrigerate until chilled, about 1 to 2 hours.
• To serve, pour 1/4 cup Muscat over each serving.

CREAM OF MANGO SOUP

Steps:

• Place the mango, sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest and half-and-half into a blender or food processor. Cover, and process until smooth and creamy. Serve chilled.

HOT ORANGE DESSERT SOUP
