About the dish

The dish is a thrifty imitation of rosehip soup made from leftover bread. The text warns against making it too sweet, or it loses the character of rosehip soup.

How to make it

  1. 1

    Soak the bread

    Put the leftover bread in cold water and leave overnight.

  2. 2

    Press and thin

    Press the mixture through a fine sieve and add more water.

  3. 3

    Season

    Add tart juice and sugar to taste. Do not make it too sweet, or it will not be rosehip soup at all.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Put a little stiffly whipped cream in each plate when serving.

Changes from the original

The original gives no quantities, so everything is listed as 'to taste' or 'as needed'. 'Hårsikt' (a fine hair sieve) is given as a fine sieve.
