When I made the broccoli soup yesterday, I kinda blanched way too many almonds and I knew if I didn’t use them at the earliest, in will forget and it will be discovered years later by my grandchildren. So I figured I could do another almond based soup and promptly tick that box. That’s when I realized that so many veggies blend well with almonds – carrots, mushroom, corn, etc. So we can safely predict few more almond soups!
So here goes –
Serves 2
Recipe adapted from here
WHAT WE NEED
Almonds 10
Olive oil 1 tbsp
Onion, large 1
Mushroom 200 gms
Milk 2 cups
Salt & pepper
WHAT TO DO
- Blanch the almonds, peel, chop and set aside
- Chop the onion and mushrooms
- Heat oil and add the onions to it
- Saute for a minute and then add the mushrooms and saute for 2-3 minutes
- Set aside few almond slivers for garnish and add the remaining almonds
- Saute for another 2 minutes and add salt and pepper. Mix well
- Remove from heat and cool
- Transfer the mushroom mixture to a blender and blend with 1/2 cup of milk till smooth
- Transfer them back to the pan, add the remaining milk and mix well
- Bring to a boil and turn off the heat
- Garnish with almonds
- Enjoy it hot!

I have never tried almonds in soups. I think it will give a richer taste and a creamier consistency. The mushroom soup with almonds sounds so yum..
