Christmas Day, awh yes! On one of my very favorite days of the year. Fruit Soup is a long held family tradition for our family, and a treat that most us look forward to each Christmas. It is a Norwegian Sweet Soup sometimes called (Sot Suppe). My grand parents came from that region and brought this tradition with them. We have always ate this over glorified rice or sweet rice. This recipe does make an amount for a large crowd so feel free to cut it down a bit. It is so delicious, just try it.

1 lb. Prunes
