A theme for this week has emerged. Soup. There you go, Lesley.
Here's an unusual one.
Take some vegetable stock. In it, boil two uncrushed cloves of garlic and some ground almond. After a while, blend until smooth. Add some cream. Serve, topped with garlic croutons.
Can also be made with blanched walnuts.
Or, omit the garlic, thin with more cream, chill and serve topped with orange slices and halved grapes.
Readers of Jane Austen might wish to know that this is the "White Soup" served in her novels. It was commonly served at balls in the first half of the nineteenth century.
The phrase "soup to nuts" always makes me think of dinner time at a psychiatric hospital..
