Warm Blueberry Soup and Soup Link Party



**I'm extending the THRIVE cookbook give away.  If you have not entered yet you have until Friday March 4th.  Check it out here!

If you have never tried soup made from fruit you have got to give it a try.  This soup is fantastic on a cold winter day for dinner, or any day for breakfast.
Warm Blueberry Soup
2 cups THRIVE Freeze Dried blueberries (rehydrate in 2 cups HOT water, until soft and plump)
3 cups water
3 T THRIVE white sugar
1 ½  T lemon juice
¼  t ground cinnamon
pinch of salt
1 t cornstarch
½ t vanilla

low fat vanilla yogurt for topping (or THRIVE Vanilla Yogurt bites)
granola for topping (or Grapenuts)

In a large sauce pan stir sugar and corn starch together. Add to water. Stir until no lumps remain.  Add blueberries, lemon juice, cinnamon and salt. Bring soup to a gentle boil.  Reduce and simmer until 10 minutes. Remove from heat and add vanilla.

Gently mash some of the berries with a potato masher and serve topped with yogurt and granola
