    Start the chicken broth boiling. While waiting for that, soften the onions in butter in a small sauce pan.

    Add flour to onion mixture and stir. This makes a kind of paste. Once chicken broth is boiling add the onion/flour mix to the boiling broth and stir briskly.

  3. 3

    Let simmer for a few minutes, then add the ground almonds. Let simmer 20 minutes. Add the heavy cream, stirring until heated through. Serves about 4.
