Rich Chicken and Almond Soup
For this soup, I first made a basic vegetable stock as I prefer my own to the bought broth.
If you do not want to go to this trouble, you can use a bought vegetable stock.
Preparation Time: 40 minutes
Cooking Time: 1 ½ hours approx.
Makes: 3 servings
Ingredients
For the basic vegetable stock
1 onion, chopped
2 leeks, sliced
2 celery stalks, sliced
1 large potato, diced
2 carrots, thinly sliced
1 - 2 small parsnips, sliced
1 small turnip, sliced
2 bay leaves
Parsley
2/3 cup dry white wine
4 - 5 cups water
For the Chicken and almond soup
2 cups vegetable soup
¼ cup butter
1 leek, chopped
1 tbsp ginger
100 g chicken fillet, diced small
1 carrot, chopped
¼ cup frozen peas
1 - 2 green chili, deseeded and chopped
½ cup ground almonds
1 tbsp coriander, chopped
¾ cup light cream
Method
For the vegetable soup
Heat some oil in a large saucepan. Add the onion, leeks, celery and potato, and cook over a low heat.
Stir for about 5 minutes or until the onion is soft.
Add the bay leaves, turnip, parsnip, parsley, carrots and white wine.
Cook until the wine almost disappears and add the water and bring to the boil.
Reduce the heat, cover and simmer for about an hour.
Strain the liquid and press the vegetables slightly so that all the liquid comes out, taking care not to squeeze the vegetables through the strainer.
Strain again and allow to cool - this keeps in the fridge for at least 3 days and any leftover can be frozen to use as a base for another recipe.
