Nuts in small quantities are extremely hale and hearty for us. You can eat nuts from the palm of your hand or from a bowl. You can even eat them from a soupspoon if you make a soup of nuts and enjoy a healthy bowl of tasty nut soup.

PUTTING WORDS DOWN ON PAPER
I have never heard of nut soup. I love nuts so I will give this a try.
Hi, sounds nutty... Ha ha. (Little joke there) I will try it, but I think I would like English walnuts instead of almonds. My daughters tell me I can never make a recipe like it is written. :)
I would probably throw in some pecans as well. :)
thank you for the great post. Best regards to you, Ruby aka Grammy.
Now I'm off to visit some other bloggers. :)
sounds perfect for an autumn day
I love peanut butter soup, so I would probably love this, too!
Peanut butter soup is pretty much the same as this, but I'm too lazy to blend it, so I use crunchy peanut butter instead.

LADYDRAGONFLY: Nut soup may sound unusual, but is delicious.
GRAMMY: Pecans or English walnuts are indeed nuts, so feel free to substitute them. Thanks for calling Ruby and best regards to you as well.
LYNN PROCTOR: Yes, not to mention winter, spring and summer. cm
MARIAN ALLEN: I like peanut butter soup too. I enjoyed your kiddie lit blog today Marian.
I'm not familiar with filberts. Are they much like hazelnuts? This sounds really good, except I cannot stand the smell of hazelnuts. I know that's not normal, but I can't help it. Just wondering if filbets are fairly different???
I've heard of peanut soup before, but never a soup made with REAL nuts. How interesting. Definitely worth a try. Thank you, dear sir.
Very interesting, would've never thought of that, I'm shell shocked ;-)
I've been dying to make some peanut soup (and a variation of it with cashews) but this sounds delicious. I do love me some hazelnuts. Do you need to remove the skins before cooking?
DANIELLE L ZECHER: Filberts and hazelnuts are essentially the same item, some say they are cousins, others say they are the same. Since you abhor the smell of hazelnuts, skip the filberts. Why not select another nut that you like? You could use Brazil nuts or walnuts or pecans perhaps. I hope you find a nut that you don't have to nullify.
SUSAN FLETT SWIDERSKI: Yes is worth a try, Thank You dear lady.
RCH: Shell shocked! cm
JANNA: Removing skins not necessary. You also may substitute different nuts if you please. Thanks.
this is some brilliant tasty treat
