Rhubarb Soup

4 servings

30 minutes

Rhubarb soup is a refreshing and light dish from German cuisine, where rhubarb is valued for its tart note and thirst-quenching ability. Its history is linked to spring eating traditions when seasonal products are used to the fullest. The delicate tartness of rhubarb harmonizes with the softness of sour cream, creating a balance of flavors – refreshing, slightly sweet, and velvety. The starch gives the soup a pleasant thickness, making it richer. Served chilled, it is perfect for warm weather. Rhubarb soup can be used not only as a main dish but also as a dessert treat, especially with an extra serving of fresh fruits or honey. It is a unique example of how familiar ingredients transform into an elegant and unusual culinary creation.
