Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh cranberries
- 4 cups water
- 1 cup orange juice
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the fresh cranberries under cool water and discard any that are bruised or overripe.
Step 2
In a large pot, combine the cranberries and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the cranberries burst and soften.
Step 4
Stir in the orange juice, granulated sugar, honey, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt.
Step 5
Simmer the mixture for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure the spices and sugar are evenly integrated.
Step 6
Remove the pot from heat and allow the soup to cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
Step 7
Using an immersion blender (or transferring to a countertop blender in batches), carefully puree the cranberry mixture until smooth.
Step 8
Return the pureed soup to the pot and set it over low heat, stirring in the heavy cream.
Step 9
Warm the soup gently without boiling, then taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Step 10
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh mint leaves, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
