Äppelsoppa, which translates to 'apple soup' in English, is a traditional Swedish recipe that has been passed down for generations. It is typically made with apples, water, and some form of thickener, such as flour or potato flour. The soup can be served hot or cold and can be garnished with cinnamon or whipped cream to add some extra flavor. In Sweden, it is often served as a dessert, but it can also be enjoyed as a snack or light meal.

Instructions

1.	If using fresh apples, peel, core, and slice them into pieces. If using dried apples, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to soften them.
2.	In a large pot, add the apples and water and bring to a boil.
3.	Reduce the heat and let simmer until the apples are soft.
4.	Strain the apples and return the liquid to the pot.
5.	In a small bowl, stir together the flour and potato flour/cornstarch until combined.
6.	Slowly whisk the flour mixture into the apple liquid, stirring constantly.
7.	Bring the soup to a boil and then reduce the heat to low.
8.	Let the soup simmer for a few minutes until it has thickened.
9.	Serve hot or cold, garnished with cinnamon or whipped cream if desired.

PROS

Äppelsoppa is a low-calorie and low-fat soup that is easy to prepare and can be enjoyed either hot or cold.

It is a great way to use up apples that are no longer fresh or in season.

CONS

The soup may be too sweet for some people’s liking.

The texture can be a bit grainy if the soup is not strained properly.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

Apples are a good source of fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
They are also rich in antioxidants, which have been linked to reducing the risk of chronic diseases, such as heart disease and cancer.
Äppelsoppa is a great way to incorporate apples into your diet in a different way than the typical apple pie or apple sauce.
