This fast and easy Danish berry soup has a nearly unpronounceable name — or at least, our pronunciation makes Danes laugh heartily — but loads of wonderful flavor.
In a splendid reflection of cultural priorities, count on the Danes to assign a bowl of soup as a measure of linguistic ability. For us well-intentioned yet decidedly non-Danish spouses and friends who have attempted to speak the language, there is an inside joke among Danes when it comes to testing our linguistic skills.
Despite the challenges with this phrase, the upside is that it describes a beloved and iconic dessert that you will be pleased to eat. In a country where the summer season can be fickle, if not fleeting, the brief yet prolific berry harvest is cause for jubilation and, frankly, pigging out. From the season’s first strawberries, followed by raspberries, black currants, red currants, blackberries and blueberries, they are abundant and everywhere: wild and farm-picked, sold by the roadside and in markets, and grown in home gardens. With such an embarrassment of riches, these juicy jewels are gobbled straight up, folded into desserts, preserved for later use and, best of all, jumbled into a pot and cooked down into a red berry soup.
Every home makes a version of this soup, in which berries simmer with sugar until the juices release. The mixture is sometimes blended, but always cooled and served with a dollop of whipped cream or a swirl of creme fraiche. Perhaps a squeeze of lemon or a splash of vanilla is added, or even chopped almonds for a more toothsome texture.
