Apple soup with rosehip broth
4 servings
30 minutes
Apple soup made from rosehip broth is a refined dish of Russian cuisine that combines the freshness of fruits with the tartness of forest berries. Historically, this soup was prepared in aristocratic homes as a dessert or refreshing summer lunch. The delicate aroma of apples, the warming spice of cinnamon, and the slight acidity of rosehip create a rich flavor palette. Served chilled, it is accompanied by crispy cubes of toasted white bread that add textural contrast. This soup is not only exquisite in taste but also healthy — rosehip is rich in vitamin C, while apples provide lightness and a refreshing effect. It is ideal as a light treat on a hot day or as an unusual alternative to traditional fruit desserts.
