Yield Makes 4 servings as a tonic

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 cups shelled walnuts, about 8 ounces
1/4 cup rice flour
1 1/2 slabs brown candy (peen tong), about 3 ounces

Steps:

  • Preheat oven at 350°F. In a large saucepan, bring 1 quart water to a boil over high heat. Add the walnuts and boil, uncovered, 1 minute. Drain well. Spread the walnuts on a cookie sheet lined with aluminum foil. Bake 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden and fragrant. Cool on a rack.
  • Place the cooled walnuts in a food processor or blender with 1/2 cup cold water, and process until almost a smooth paste, scraping down sides of work bowl. Add 1/2 cup cold water and process until almost smooth.
  • In a 2-quart saucepan, whisk the rice flour and 1 cup water until smooth. Whisk in the walnut puree and 2 1/2 cups cold water. Heat over medium-high heat, whisking constantly, until mixture comes to a boil. Cut the brown candy into smaller pieces. Add the brown candy, reduce heat to low, and simmer 10 minutes, whisking occasionally. The soup should be the consistency of a light cream soup. If mixture is too thick, whisk in up to 1/2 cup more water. Serve piping hot (no more than 1 1/2 cups per person.)

This soup is a great way to use up leftover walnuts. It's also a very affordable soup to make.

I followed the recipe exactly and my soup turned out too thick. I had to add more water to thin it out. Other than that, the soup was delicious.

This soup was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it could have used more salt and pepper. Otherwise, it was a good soup.

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this soup. I'm not usually a fan of walnut-based soups, but this one was really good. The flavors were well-balanced and the soup was very creamy.

This walnut soup was absolutely delicious! The texture was creamy and smooth, and the flavors were perfectly balanced. I loved the hint of sweetness from the carrots and the slight crunch from the walnuts. It was the perfect comfort food for a cold w
