Blueberry Soup with Yogurt and Toasted Oats
Berry soups are popular all over Scandinavia, particularly in Sweden and Finland. They can be eaten at all times of the day: for breakfast, at lunch, and for dessert - when they are typically more sweetened. They're usually served chilled but can be warmed too, if liked. Say hello to a Scandi breakfast!
