POLISH BLUEBERRY SOUP WITH APRICOT COMPOTE

Steps:

• First make the compote. Place the apricots and sugar in a pan over a low heat for about 45 minutes. Stir now and then very gently, so that the apricots remain relatively whole. Transfer to a bowl, cool and chill in the refrigerator.
• While the compote is simmering, place the blueberries (reserving a few for garnish), water and sugar in a saucepan. Simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Mix the flour, sour cream and salt in a bowl and whisk until smooth. Pour in one cup of the hot blueberry mix and whisk vigorously.
• Now add the mixture to the simmering blueberries, stir well and continue to simmer for 10 minutes until the soup thickens.
• Blend in a food processor until smooth. Transfer to a bowl and leave to cool with cling film resting on the surface to prevent a skin forming. Chill until serving.
• Serve the blueberry soup chilled, garnished with whole blueberries and a blob of compote in the middle of each bowl. Enjoy the remaining compote with yogurt.
