Icelandic Cocoa Soup

This was fun to make & a treat for this chocoholic. I admit I have the advantage of *on-site input* & it turns out nearly all recipes for it match yours, altho some suggest using vanilla instead of cinnamon. The thickness (or lack of it) was the main issue in prior reviews & I found 1T cornstarch is used for thin soup, 2T for thick soup & 3T for pudding. I used 2T, cooked it till it was clearly starting to thicken, removed it from direct heat & let it sit for a few min. This method got me the equivalent of a thick & creamy hot chocolate that I liked a lot. Thx for sharing this recipe w/us.

We enjoyed this quite a lot. I used potato flour hoping that it might make it thicker, but it did not. That said, we still thought it was very tasty. We would have liked it a bit sweeter I think, but that is personal preference. I used skim milk which made this very low fat. This would be particularly good in cold weather. And some homemade pound cake croutons would make it almost decadent!

This is delicious, and even the hubby liked it! It's not a thick soup, even though I cooked 1 minute after adding the cornstarch. But we liked it the way it is. I made a half recipe, which was enough for my family of 4 (2 adults and 2 little kids). Thanks Heather!

Truly an original! It had a great flavour. I was expecting it to turn out a bit thicker after the addition of cornstarch. It stayed thin for us. I will probably try it again. Most likely, I will leave it on the heat a little longer to try and thicken it that way. Thanks for posting though! My family really enjoyed the idea of a chocolate soup!
