60 minutes
Apricot puree soup is an exquisite dish of French cuisine that harmoniously combines the sweetness of ripe apricots with a delicate creamy texture. Historically, such fruit soups were prepared for the aristocracy, who appreciated light and refined flavors. In this recipe, apricots are boiled down to a soft puree, then complemented with sugar and potato flour for thickness, and finally enriched with cream and rice. Its rich fruity taste with a hint of acidity makes this soup perfect as a refreshing summer treat or light dessert. Serving the chilled soup with a mint leaf or a drop of liqueur turns it into a true gastronomic masterpiece.
