A cold Norwegian fruit soup filled with apricots, raisins, prunes, and tapioca, preserved here as the closest version I’ve found to the Sot Suppe my grandfather made.

A typewritten page preserves two separate sweet soup recipes. Buttermilk Soup combines oatmeal, raisins, and lemon peel in a creamy, tangy base, while Lemon Soup features tapioca, raisins, and fresh lemon. Both are enriched with egg yolks and sugar, creating comforting dishes that could be enjoyed as light meals or desserts.
