Norwegian hot fruit soup, locally known as "Fruktsuppe," is a traditional recipe that has endured through generations in Nordic countries, especially in Norway. This sweet, comforting, and nutritious soup is prepared with dried fruits and spices, making it ideal for the cold northern months. In Latin America, although an identical version does not exist, similar dishes can be found under names like "dried fruit soup" or "hot fruit dessert," adapted with local ingredients depending on the region.
The origin of this soup dates back to a time when fresh fruits were scarce during winter, so dehydrated fruits were used to preserve flavor and nutrients. The combination of dried fruits, juice, and spices creates a sweet dish that was enjoyed both as a nutritious dessert and as a restorative hot beverage. Its simple preparation and rich history make it a popular specialty that celebrates Norwegian culinary heritage.
