HOLIDAY FRUIT SOUP

Holiday Fruit Soup image

I remember eating this soup every Christmas while growing up. I considered it a real treat. My mother, who was born in Sweden, made this soup during holidays, and now I carry on the family tradition. I look forward to all of our Swedish Christmas traditions-especially eating this soup. -Enice Jacobson, Wildrose, North Dakota
