Cream of Rose Petal Soup

Roses don't just look good in a vase – as an ingredient they add a very special flavour to dishes.

Ingredients (4 servings)
1 small onion finely chopped
20 g butter
4 tablespoon(s) spelt flour
500 ml vegetable stock
250 g whipped cream
1 handful edible rose petals
1 teaspoon(s) salt
1 teaspoon(s) mild curry powder
1 teaspoon(s) honey
1 teaspoon(s) chilli powder (to taste)
1 tablespoon(s) rose liqueur
edible rose petals as garnish

Preparation

  • Sauté finely chopped onion in butter until translucent, then sprinkle with flour and stir over a gentle heat.
  • When the flour turns light yellow, gradually pour in vegetable stock, stirring continuously.
  • Once thickened, add whipped cream, rose petals, spices and honey and simmer very briefly.
  • Blend, then season with chilli and rose liqueur.
  • Decorate with finely chopped red rose petals and serve hot.

Tip:

The author likes to serve lightly toasted white bread with it. And if someone likes it particularly rosy: white bread with rose butter.
