MANILA, Philippines —A soup is normally is savory served as first or second course in a formal sit-down lunch or dinner.

In a casual dining set-up, the soup is a side dish, or if it is hearty and comes with lots of meat and vegetables, such as Sinigang and Bulalo, it is served as the main viand with rice.

But this soup is a sweet and fruit-based one. It is a dessert soup, much like Mango Sago, and it harnesses the delightfully refreshing taste of both blueberries and mangoes.

This recipe of Blueberry Mango Soup comes from the U.S. Highbush Blueberry Council, and it certainly is worth a try in your kitchen for that extra boost of fiber and antioxidants.
