For a richer flavor, consider adding a small piece of orange peel while simmering. Adjust the amount of sugar to your preference, depending on the sweetness of the prunes and raisins. A pinch of cardamom can add a lovely warmth to the spice profile. This soup thickens as it cools, so don't be alarmed if it seems a bit thin while simmering.
