For a richer flavor, consider adding a small piece of orange peel while simmering. Adjust the amount of sugar to your preference, depending on the sweetness of the prunes and raisins. A pinch of cardamom can add a lovely warmth to the spice profile. This soup thickens as it cools, so don't be alarmed if it seems a bit thin while simmering.

Jun 17, 2025I found the soup a little too sweet for my taste, so I reduced the sugar to 1 cup. It was perfect after that!
