#SundaySupper: Rabarbersuppe Med Vin {Summer Chillin'}


The first time I made this (photo below) - Rabarbersuppe Med Vin (Danish Rhubarb Wine Soup) - I, uncharacteristically, served it to actual Danes. Normally, if I'm making a traditional recipe, I will not serve it to someone who has actually eaten it! But I did. And it was a hit.


I swapped out the traditional red wine in the recipe for whatever wine I had - leftover prosecco for the first batch and leftover Pinot Gris for this batch. My friend mentioned that she thought the recipe should have been 2 vanilla pods instead of the 2 cinnamon sticks. I did think it was odd to have whole cinnamon plus the ground cinnamon. So, for this #SundaySupper event - Summer Chillin' - and my second attempt at Rabarbersuppe Med Vin I decided to try it with the vanilla pods instead.


Ingredients

  • 3/4 C organic granulated sugar
  • 1 C water
  • 2 whole vanilla pods
  • 1 t ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 t nutmeg
  • juice from 1 lemon
  • 2 C wine (I used some left over Pinot Gris)
  • 2 C rhubarb, sliced

Procedure
Slice the vanilla pods lengthwise and scrape out the seeds. Combine water, sugar, vanilla seeds and pods in a large souppot. Cook, stirring continually, until the mixture boils. Add the ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, lemon juice, wine, and rhubarb. Cook for 5 to 10 minutes, until the rhubarb begins to soften and lose its shape. Remove the vanilla pods. You can serve it hot. Or, like we did, serve chilled as a great summer soup.

  7. I did that one time … served stir-fry to an Asian restaurant owner. I don't think mine was such a hit. With that said, what a great sounding Summer soup. In my humble opinion, all soup should contain wine.

  16. I've only really seen rhubarb used in pies so it's interesting to see it in a different kind of dish. Speaking of dishes, I LOVE that adorable little chalkboard-vessel you served this in!

Quick Pickled Red Onions and Radishes

If you've been reading my blog for even a short amount of time, you probably know how much I love to pickle things. I was just telling a friend you can pickle - with vinegar - or you can ferment - with salt - for similar delicious effect. The latter has digestive benefits and I love to do that, but when I need that pop of sour flavor quickly, I whip up quick pickles that are ready in as little as a day or two. I've Pickled Blueberries , Pickled Asparagus , Pickled Cranberries , Pickled Pumpkin , and even Pickled Chard Stems ! This I did last night for an upcoming recipe challenge that requires I include radishes. Ummmm...of course I'm pickling them! Ingredients  makes 1 quart jar radishes, trimmed and sliced organic red onions, peeled and thinly sliced (I used a mandolin slicer) 3/4 C vinegar (I used white distilled vinegar) 3/4 C water 3 T organic granulated sugar 1 T salt (I used some grey sea salt) 6 to 8 grinds of black pepper Proce
