Scandinavian Blueberry Soup

In Scandinavia, blueberry soup is a popular treat that can be served warm as an appetizer or chilled as a dessert. But the benefits of blueberry soup extend far beyond its culinary use. Blueberries are rich pectin, a type of dietary fiber that limits the amount of fat our cells absorb and that can therefore help you maintain your ideal weight. Pectin is also known to make you feel fuller and for a longer time, so you will eat less during the day.
