This is the perfect time to enjoy rhubarb that grows in abundance in most countries all over the world. Finnish rhubarb soup is a classic summer dessert which you can enjoy with a dash of milk, yoghurt or with good vanilla bean ice cream. It’s dead simple to make, too!

2. Add the  rhubarb and the cinnamon stick and let simmer covered until the rhubarb has softened (about 10 minutes).

3. Remove the cinnamon stick. Mix the potato starch with some cold water to form a smooth paste and stir the paste into the soup.

4. Stir well, let the soup heat enough to “bubble” (but not fully boiling) and remove from the  heat. Serve the soup room temperature or cold.
