How to Make Icelandic Cocoa Soup

  1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon until well combined.
  2. Gradually whisk in 1 cup of water until the mixture is completely smooth and free of lumps.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Add 1 cup of milk (whole milk recommended) to the saucepan. Bring back to a gentle simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon potato starch (or cornstarch) with 2 tablespoons of cold water to form a slurry. Slowly whisk the slurry into the simmering soup and remove from heat immediately.
  6. Stir in a pinch of salt to taste. Serve warm and enjoy! (Optional: Serve with crumbled rusks)
