It is a refreshing soup that is both tangy and sweet and can be served hot or cold depending on the weather. The soup is typically served with a dollop of whipped cream or a vanilla sauce to balance out the tartness of the rhubarb. Despite its simplicity, this dish is a beloved part of Swedish cuisine and is perfect for those looking to try something new and unique.
