Fruit soup

Fruit soup is a soup prepared using fruit as a primary ingredient, and may be served warm or cold depending on the recipe. Some fruit soups use several varieties of fruit, and alcoholic beverages such as rum, sherry and kirsch (a fruit brandy) may be used.^[1] Fruit soup is sometimes served as a dessert.^[1]

Many recipes are for cold soups served when fruit is in season during warm weather.^[2] Some, like Norwegian fruktsuppe, may be served warm or cold, and rely on dried fruit, such as dried prunes, apricots^[3] and raisins, thus being able to be prepared in any season. Fruit soups may include milk^[1] or cream, sweet or savoury dumplings, spices, or alcoholic beverages, such as sweet wine, white wine,^[1] brandy or champagne.
