In reply to Claire L. I freeze my pesto, too! I love remembering it's in the fridge. It's like the dinner fairy came by to help. :)

Holy cow, this looks delicious! I love the idea of mixing pesto into the soup. I'll put pesto on just about anything, but it hadn't occurred to me to put it in soup yet. Brilliant! We make pesto in the summer and keep it in the freezer for the winter, so this should be super easy to throw together. Love it!

In reply to Julie. Nah, no need. I guess technically they're blanched in the soup, but the skins can be blended up. I quite like the little brown flecks, but you can surely use blanched almonds if you like.

Do the almonds need to be blanched or are the skins ok?

Shoot, I don't think I'd care about being a stinker after eating this, it sounds too amazing to pass up! Besides, Rachael Ray is always babbling about two people eating garlic cancel each other out, or some such nonsense, so let's go with that, shall we? ;-)

Totally my kind of recipe! I (try to) eat one raw clove of garlic every night. My poor, poor hubby...

I'm totally pinning this!
