When I watched an episode of the "Okrasa łamie przepisy" series entitled "Summer memories" by Karol Okrasa, and I heard about a sweet fruit soup served with potatoes I was intrigued. My mum served light, spring fruit soups with noodles only, so I had never tried this version of the soup, and I could already picture my dinner on Saturday.

I thought that my family would welcome the idea for my dinner with enthusiasm, but ... I miscued a bit. Even my husband, who usually applauds my culinary experiments, this time looked with unbelieving eyes and said that it wasn't his taste.

Using the opportunity, I decided to try the recipe and I cooked dinner only for myself. I have to say that the combination of sweet and strong bilberry soup with potatoes is really interesting. I will admit, however, that when I prepared the potatoes with fried onion and bacon, I only managed to save a bit to eat with the soup .

They were excellent. They tasted even better because recently I have been cooking a lot of groats and rice. I blended the bilberry soup and condensed it with flour. I didn't add any cream. I prefer "clean" fruit soup.

Ingredients:
Soup:
300g of bilberries
sugar
2 tablespoons of lemon juice
1 tablespoon of flour
additionally
0.5kg of potatoes
1 onion
200g of bacon
2 tablespoons of minced chives
Clean the bilberries and cook them in water with sugar like stewed fruit. Drain the berries, blend them and add them to the soup. Mix the flour with 100ml of cold water and add to the soup, stirring constantly so as not to make lumps. Bring to the boil, and spice it up with lemon juice and if necessary with sugar. Dice the bacon and onion and fry them until they are golden. Cook the potatoes in salty water, drain them and mash them with a fork. Add the onion and bacon and mix them in. Make a small mound with the potatoes in the middle of a plate. Pour the soup round it. Decorate with the minced chives. Don't mix the soup with the potatoes. Eat by putting a few potatoes and a bit of soup on the spoon.

Enjoy your meal!
