Hey friends, we are just checking in quickly from our chaotic life in an apartment filled with moving boxes to share a wonderful little soup recipe with you. It’s a savory, creamy and slightly sweet almond & garlic soup that we top with red grapes. It is kind of inspired by a Spanish White Almond Gazpacho, but our version is served warm and with roasted roots. We wanted it to feel like a thick warm almond milk with lots of flavor. It has quickly become one of our favorite recipes this spring, both as lunch and dinner. And the grapes on top truly adds a nice and fruity twist. If you are having guests over, it could also be really nice as a starter.
We originally created this recipe for the Electrolux Now You’re Cooking Everyday event. You can find the video of our recipe here. A few posts ago we also asked for your best breakfast recipe. The winners were Silvia & Camille with their amazing and simple Rhubarb Parfait. Congratulations! The recipe will be cooked live on the same event tomorrow morning 9.00 CET.
Yep, that was it. Short and sweet. Now we need to get back to unpacking boxes, assembling Ikea closets and putting shelves up on the wall (phew). Much love!
Warm Almond Soup
Serves 4
Preheat the oven to 200°C / 400°F. Prepare the vegetables, peel parsnip or parsley root, garlic and onion. Cut into large bite-size pieces. Place in a bowl and lightly drizzle with olive oil, toss to cover. Cover a baking sheet with baking paper and arrange the vegetables on it. Place in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, until tender and lightly browned. Meanwhile blanch the almonds and heat the water in a water boiler. When the vegetables are done, remove from the oven and place in a heat proof blender. Add blanched almonds, hot water, apple cider vinegar, thyme, salt and pepper and blend until completely smooth. Taste and adjust the flavors to your preference. Serve immediately in serving bowls, garnish with a drizzle of olive, thyme and grapes.
