Instructions
Step 1
Bring blueberries and 3 cups water to a boil in a 4-qt. saucepan over high heat; reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally until berries begin to burst, about 12 minutes. Strain, saving cooking liquid, and using a spoon, gently press the berries to extract all their juice; discard berries. Return liquid to saucepan; add sugar, cinnamon, zest and juice; bring to a boil. Mix cornstarch and 2 tbsp. water in a bowl; add to pan and cook, while stirring, until soup is thick, 3-5 minutes. Discard cinnamon; season with salt and serve with whipped cream.
