    List of Ingredients




    Almond and French Bean Soup


    1 medium onion, chopped
    2-3 cloves garlic, minced
    3 Tablespoons butter
    1 heaping Tablespoon flour
    2 cups water or chicken stock
    1 pound French filet beans (haricots verts)
    1 teaspoon fresh chopped savory, marjoram, or other summer herb
    Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
    A squeeze of lemon juice
    2-3 ounces blanched almonds, split

    Recipe




    1. Cook the onion and garlic gently in two tablespoons of the butter without browning. When they are soft, stir in the flour, then just over half the water or stock. Simmer a few minutes, then put in the beans, seasoning them with chopped fresh summer savory, marjoram, or another herb of your choice.

    2. When the beans are just tender, purée the soup in a blender. Use the rest of the water or stock to dilute the soup to the desired consistency. Reheat, adding more seasoning to taste and a squeeze of lemon juice. Keep the soup just below the boiling point.

    3. Sauté the almonds in the remaining tablespoon of butter, stirring them until nicely browned. Stir them into the soup with a little extra butter and serve immediately
