Hot Almond Soup
This is very warming and hearty in the cooler winter months.
100g Blanched Almonds
1 clove Garlic
1 tbsp Parsley
4 slices stale Brown Bread
2 tbsp Olive Oil
½ tsp ground Cumin
pinch Saffron
500ml Chicken Stock
100ml Milk
Fry the almonds, garlic, parsley and two slices of the bread in 1 tbsp of the oil until golden. Liquidise with a little of the stock and the saffron. Put in a saucepan with the milk and the rest of the stock. Bring to the boil then simmer for 15 minutes. Cube the remaining bread and fry in the remaining oil until crisp. Add the fried bread to the soup and serve immediately.
