Nuts Soup
As part of my pantry clearing project, I needed to use up the almond butter before it went stale. So I decided to make peanut soup, only using almond butter. It's very good. Next time, I'm trying pecans, and will run them through my Vitamix before adding to the stock.
1 small or 1/2 medium onion, chopped
1 1/2 Tbsp olive oil
1 quart mild chicken or vegetable stock
1/2 can Rotel tomatoes, onions and chilis (optional)
1 1/2 cups almond butter, more or less (your tastebuds will decide how much)
Saute the onion in the oil, in a medium saucepan. When the onions are just becoming transparent, add the stock and Rotel and bring to a boil. Turn heat to simmer and add the almond butter and stir until smooth.
If your almond butter fought you and came out in semi-hard clumps, use an immersion blender to mix it all up. Remove from heat.
Serve with a dollop of sour cream (optional).
