Raspberry Fuchsia Soup Recipe

Ingredients:

For the Strawberry Wine:

300ml (1 1/4 cups) strawberries, hulled and halved
1 tbsp granulated sugar
1 tbsp brandy
325ml (1/2 bottle) German riesling, well chilled (or any dry white wine)

For the Soup:

350g (12 oz) fresh raspberries
180ml (2/3 cup) water
2 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp finely-grated lemon zest
2 tbsp arrowroot
120ml (1/2 cup) maple syrup
500ml (2 cups_ strawberry wine
120ml (1/2 cup) sour cream
60g (2 oz) fresh raspberries, to garnish

Method:

Begin with the strawberry wine. Place the strawberries in a large glass jar the sprinkle with sugar and drizzle with the brandy. Set aside to marinate for 2 hours then add the white wine. Stir to combine and set aside, covered, for 2 hours more. After this time, pass the mixture through a fine-meshed sieve, pressing down on the fruit to extract as much of the liquid as possible (reserve the left-over fruit pulp). Set aside.

Purée the raspberries in a food processor then pass through a fine-meshed sieve to remove the skins and pips. Set the liquid aside. Combine the left-over raspberry pulp with the strawberry pulp in a saucepan. Stir in the water and bring to a simmer. Cook for 5 minutes then strain the mixture into the bowl containing the raspberry purée.

In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, lemon zest and arrowroot until smooth. Whisk this into the raspberry puree mixture then whisk in the maple syrup and the strawberry wine.

Turn the resultant mixture into a pan. Bring to a simmer and cook until the soup is thick. Take off the heat and turn into a heat-proof bowl. Allow to cool, cover with clingfilm and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.

To serve, ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with sour cream and fresh raspberries.
