Rose hip soup may be eaten for breakfast. The types of soup for that purpose are generally lower in fruit content and more watery, and may be served with pieces ofcrisp bread.

They are picked after the first frost of the fall, once ripe and red, then dried.[5]Nyponsoppa is typically made with dried rose hips, water,potato starch (as a thickener), and sugar. The rose hips are boiled until they are soft and then blended with a mixer. The mixture is then run through a sieve and thickened with potato starch.[6]Rose hips are rich invitamin C.[citation needed]
