  • Recipe Submitted by on

Category: Soups, Appetizers

 Ingredients List

  • 2 qt Chicken or vegetable stock
  • 1/3 c Long-grain rice
  • 1/2 c Blanched almonds
  • 1 tb Butter
  • 1 Large onion, chopped
  • 1 tb Finely chopped garlic
  • 1/4 c Dry Sherry
  • 2 tb Almond paste
  • Grated zest of 1 orange
  • 1 c Evaporated skim milk
  • Salt and white pepper
  • 1 1/4 c Slivered toasted almonds
  • Grated orange zest

 Directions

1. Spray a large soup pot with Pam. Add the stock and bring to a boil.
Turn down the heat to medium-low, and add the rice and blanced almonds.
Cover and let cook slowly for 30 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, spray a 10-inch skillet with Pam, and in it melt the butter
over medium heat. Add the onion, and saute until it starts to soften,
about 3 1/2 minutes. Lower the heat slightly, and add the garlic. Continue
cooking, stirring constantly, to soften the garlic for about 20 seconds.
Stir in the sherry, then crumble in the almond paste a bit at a time.
Remove the skillet from the heat, and whisk well to smooth it out.
3. Lower the heat under the stock to the barest possible simmer. Add the
onion mixture, the orange zest, and evaporated skim milk. Let cook to blend
flavors, 10 minutes more.
4. Puree the soup, in batches, in a food processor, then put through a
food-mill or power strainer. Season to taste with salt and white pepper.
5. Reheat just before serving, and serve, very hot, in small cups. Garnish
soup with toasted almonds and the merest bit of orange zest.
