Guest guest Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 Christie, I love the idea of trying out two new recipes a week, and the chickpea and tomato soup sounds wonderful. I would have never thought to add ground almonds. Can you taste them as almonds, or do they just make the soup richer? Thank you for sharing the recipe! I'm looking forward to trying it.

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 Sorry for the delay in replying, Mo. I defrosted a bowl of the soup to have for my lunch today so that I could reply! The almonds do make a difference to the taste and texture. I couldn't taste them as almonds but the soup is richer and has a fuller flavour. I have so many cookery books and there are thousands of recipes in the group files and yet I often end up making the same 10 or 12 meals. It seems a waste not to get to enjoy different tastes and flavours, hence the decision to try 2 new recipes per week. This week I went a bit mad and tried 5 new recipes - two great recipes which will join the other in my repertoire, one mediocre, one yummy but way too fattening and one completely vile and inedible! I had a lot of fun doing it - even the inedible cookies were fun to make :-) Christie 2009/7/28 Maureen <ailanthus > Christie, I love the idea of trying out two new recipes a week, and the > chickpea and tomato soup sounds wonderful.

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 Thank you, Christie! I love the sound of that soup. I also really like your plan for trying new recipes every week. My partner and I tend to fall in love with recipes, make them until we're in a rut, and then try a whole bunch of new recipes until we have a new group of favorites and the process begins again, so a little balance might be a good thing It sounds like you're having a great time, too! Thanks again! Peace, Mo Christie wrote: > Sorry for the delay in replying, Mo. I defrosted a bowl of the soup to have > for my lunch today so that I could reply!
