Almond soup is very popular in Spain and Turkey. Unlike the Spanish and Ottoman versions, almond soup in England was prepared with meat: in a country with a cool climate and always chilly weather, it is quite difficult to live without meat.
Anecdote in the subject “And the toast in our restaurant is called crouton. This is exactly the same toasted piece of bread, only a toast cannot cost $ 8, but a crouton can“.
But even without meat, it is very tasty cooked in meat broth. It is noteworthy that almond soup is known in two versions: cold and warm. It is best served cold in summer and hot in winter. But in both versions, almond soup retains its unique Spanish flavor.
