Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 c Raw almonds or cashews
5 c Vegetable stock or bouillon
1 lb Red-skinned potatoes
-- unpeeled,
-- cut into 1/2-inch cubes
2 md Leeks -- sliced
-- (thoroughly washed)
1 c Finely chopped fresh parsley
1 t Freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 t Fine sea salt
1/4 ts Freshly ground black pepper

Blanch the almonds in boiling water for 30 seconds.
Drain, and plunge almonds into cold water. Drain, and
squeeze the almonds between your fingertips to remove
the skins. Compost or discard the skins.

Put the blanched almonds and 1 cup of the vegetable
stock in a blender, and blend until smooth, about 1
minute.

In a large pot, combine the potatoes, leeks, and the
remaining 4 cups vegetable stock and bring to a simmer
over medium heat. Cover and boil until the potatoes
are tender, about 10 to 15 minutes.

Stir the blanched almond mixture, parsely, lemon
juice, salt, and pepper into the soup. Bring to a
simmer and cook, stirring often, until thickened,
about 2 minutes. Transfer the soup to a food
processor and process, in batches if necessary, until
smooth.

Serve immediately.
