Also from Middle Eastern Recipe (http://www.ummah.com/family/recipes.html). 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

4 serv.
  • tablespoons butter2
  • cup onion, chopped1⁄2
  • tablespoons flour2
  • (14 ounce) cans chicken broth2
  • cup almonds, ground (or finely chopped)1⁄2
  • cup heavy cream1⁄2

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 1

    Start the chicken broth boiling.

  2. 2

    While waiting for that, soften the onions in butter in a small sauce pan.

  3. 3

    Add flour to onion mixture and stir. This makes a kind of paste.

  4. 4

    Once chicken broth is boiling add the onion/flour mix to the boiling broth and stir briskly.

  5. 5

    Let simmer for a few minutes, then add the ground almonds. Let simmer 20 minutes.

  6. 6

    Add the heavy cream, stirring until heated through.

  7. 7

    Add salt and pepper to taste, though I find it doesn't need it.

  8. 8

    Serves about 4.
