Chicken Soup With Pounded Almonds Recipes

Steps:

• Melt butter over medium heat in large saucepan or Dutch oven. Add onion and celery; cook 5-6 minutes until vegetables are softened.
• Add flour and stir over medium-high heat, making a roux, 3-4 minutes. Add chicken broth and boullion; bring to boil and let thicken, then reduce heat.
• Add tarragon, thyme and pepper; let simmer 10-15 minutes.
• If mixture looks too thin, sprinkle a little flour into it; stir well until flour is incorporated.
• Add chicken breast, mushrooms and almonds; bring to boil over medium-high heat; reduce heat and let simmer 5-10 minutes.
• Before serving, add evaporated milk and let heat through. Season with additional salt and pepper and serve with almonds sprinkled on top, if desired.

Steps:

• Make matzo balls:
• Beat together eggs and oil in a bowl. Add matzo meal, almonds, dill, salt, pepper, cinnamon, and 1/3 cup stock, stirring until blended. Cover surface of mixture with plastic wrap and chill at least 2 hours.
• Shape and cook matzo balls:
• Bring a 6-quart pot of salted water to a simmer.
• Roll matzo mixture into 1-inch balls (about 25) with dampened hands and transfer to an oiled plate.
• Cook matzo balls in simmering water, covered, until cooked through, about 40 minutes. To test for doneness, halve a matzo ball: It should have a moist, uniform texture (if it's not quite ready, there will be a dry, yellowish center).
• While matzo balls are cooking, bring remaining 6 cups stock to a simmer and season with salt and pepper. Transfer matzo balls with a slotted spoon to broth and simmer, uncovered, 5 minutes. Serve hot.

Steps:

• In a saucepan, bring the stock, onion, carrot, thyme and chicken breast to a gentle simmer. Continue simmering for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, toast the almonds, then grind them fine. Toast the coriander seeds and grind them. Combine the ground almonds and coriander seeds with the cloves and nutmeg and set aside.
• Remove the chicken from the pan, slice into 1/2-inch pieces and return to the stock. Gradually whisk the almonds and spices into the simmering stock until the soup is fairly thick. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Serve at once with a dusting of Parmesan cheese.

Steps:

• Combine the stock, onion, garlic, and sweet potato in a stockpot and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and add the chicken, then cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the almond butter and 1/2 cup of the soup mixture into a thick paste. Add the collard leaves and ginger to the soup and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 5 minutes. Stir in the almond butter paste. Season with salt and pepper.
• Ladle the soup into bowls, and squeeze with lime wedge.

Steps:

• Add almonds to chicken broth; season with onion juice and bay leaf.
• Simmer for 15 minutes.
• Combine flour and butter; add to broth, stirring constantly until boiling point is reached.
• Add milk and cream or evaporated milk and season to taste.
