. It calls for almonds, but I've made this with walnuts as well. If you can't find ground nuts, then I recommend finely chopped. They should be as fine as possible, as this adds to the creamy texture of the soup. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons butter |
1/2 cup onion, chopped |
2 tablespoons flour |
2 (14 ounce) cans chicken broth |
1/2 cup almonds, ground (or finely chopped) |
1/2 cup heavy cream |
Directions:
1. Start the chicken broth boiling.
2. While waiting for that, soften the onions in butter in a small sauce pan.
3. Add flour to onion mixture and stir. This makes a kind of paste.
4. Once chicken broth is boiling add the onion/flour mix to the boiling broth and stir briskly.
5. Let simmer for a few minutes, then add the ground almonds. Let simmer 20 minutes.
6. Add the heavy cream, stirring until heated through.
7. Add salt and pepper to taste, though I find it doesn't need it.
8. Serves about 4.
