Description

Malinnik is a vibrant and refreshing chilled soup that transforms fresh raspberries into a silky, elegant dish. This recipe combines the bright acidity of fresh berries with the deep, fruity notes of claret, creating a sophisticated balance of sweet and tart flavors. The addition of sugar helps to meld the ingredients, while a splash of sparkling water adds a light, effervescent texture right before serving. Each bowl is finished with a cool dollop of sour cream, which provides a creamy contrast to the fruit-infused liquid. This unique soup is perfect for warm summer evenings or as a palate-cleansing interlude during a larger meal. It requires minimal cooking, allowing the fresh flavors of the ingredients to shine through.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Wash the fresh raspberries and reserve about one cup of the best-looking berries for garnish.
  2. Place the remaining raspberries in a blender and puree until smooth.
  3. Add the sugar and claret to the blender and blend briefly to combine.
  4. Pour the mixture into a pitcher or bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to chill thoroughly.
  5. Just before serving, gently stir in the sparkling water or club soda.
  6. Ladle the chilled soup into bowls and top each serving with a dollop of sour cream and a few reserved whole raspberries.

Note

For a non-alcoholic version, substitute the claret with grape juice or pomegranate juice.

If the raspberries are particularly tart, you may increase the sugar slightly to taste.

Ensure the soup is well-chilled before adding the sparkling water to maintain its effervescence.

Serve immediately after adding the sparkling water to prevent the drink from going flat.
