Summer is that time of year when you don’t want to overload your body with heavy and hot food. But since we know that liquid is a necessary dish in the diet, we suggest you try making cold fruit rice soup using one of the recipes below.

General description of the dish

To make your own cold soup from fruits and rice, you can use both fresh and frozen fruits, as well as dried fruits. Berries can also be ingredients here. All of them need to be thoroughly washed, peeled and pitted, and then cut or grated.

If in a vegetable, meat or fish soup the water in which the main ingredient was boiled is used as broth, then for a fruit soup it will be nothing more than a compote or decoction.

Today, there are a lot of recipes on how to make fruit rice soup, and you can use dairy products, juices, jelly, and even carbonated drinks as a basis. To add zest to the dish, experienced housewives prefer to add chocolate, candies that suit the taste and consistency, as well as waffles or marshmallows. The most commonly used seasonings and spices are sweet vanilla, tart cloves and cinnamon, as well as essences, that is, concentrated solutions.

Secrets of cooking a light meal

Each of them has its own characteristics and subtleties, but we will share with you those recommendations that will be useful to you in any case.

  1. To prepare fruit rice soup, it is best to use those products that are currently in season;
  2. It is recommended not to heat treat those fruits and berries that can be eaten raw. This way you can preserve maximum beneficial properties (vitamins and minerals necessary for health), as well as aroma and taste;
  3. As with all things, check foods carefully before using them in your cooking. They must be fresh, without signs of spoilage. However, slightly mashed berries and fruits are also suitable for broth, since they will need to be mashed in any case;
  4. Many cold rice dishes are pureed before serving. In order to achieve the most delicate and palatable consistency, cooks recommend additionally grinding the soup mass through a sieve or cheesecloth with large holes;
  5. The ideal temperature for serving such a dish is ten to twelve degrees. To avoid waiting a long time for it to cool, you can add ice. But this only applies to some recipes.
