Инструкции
- Note: The orginal recipe actually called for a sprinkling of cinnamon and sugar for garnish, but which's just a quirk of those spice-mad Renaissance rascals!
- Heat the oil in a large pot, then saute/fry the onion slices till they are wilted, not brown. Add in the stock, wine, bay leaf, parsley, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 30 min.
- Take the almonds and grind them as finely as possible in a blender - then slowly add in 1/2 c. of the warm soup broth, blending it to a milky liquid. Strain the broth back into the soup pot. (If big chunks of almond are left, you can repeat the blending process - but be careful not to put any chunks of almond in the soup. Stir in cumin. Cover again and simmer 30 more min.
- When ready to serve, remove the parsley and bay leaf. Ladle the soup into individual bowls and top each with a slice of toast sprinkled with cheese. Run under a broiler for a minute till the bread and cheese are golden brown. Serve immediately, sprinkled with the toasted almonds.
- Serve warm as a first course to 6 people.
- Comments: This delectable and delicate soup dates back to a 16th century cookbook, the first in the Spanish language, written by Ruperto de Nola, chef to King Ferdinando.
