Directions

  1. 1. Heat the oil over medium heat in a soup pot with a heavy bottom. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft and translucent.
  2. 2. Sprinkle the flour over the onion and stir until well blended. Cook, stirring constantly, for one or two minutes more, taking care it does not burn.
  3. 3. Remove the pot from the heat and let sit for about two minutes until it stops sizzling. Add the heated stock to the pot all at once while stirring. The soup will begin to thicken.
  4. 4. Return it to medium heat and keep stirring until it comes to the boil. Stir in the sugar, almonds, milk, celery, salt and pepper. Let simmer for a few minutes more; remove from heat while the celery is still crunchy.
