?Pine nut soup is a recipe that includes pine nuts as one of the ingredients. This soup is usually made with a broth or stock, and often includes other ingredients such as vegetables, meat, or seafood.
Proceed as follows:
Purée a mixture of the pine nuts and the egg yolks in the food processor until you have a fine, smooth paste.
Put this in a saucepan and add one cup of chicken bouillon and one cup of cream. The chicken stock can be added already at the food processor stage if you have difficulties in obtaining a smooth paste.This far the dish can be prepared hours in advance.
Heat over a gentle fire under constant stirring until the mixture thickens. It must not, however, be brought to a boil!
Serve immediately.
If desired, the aphrodisiac properties can be reinforced by suitable spices. I have tried three equally successful alternatives: 0.5 grams of finely divided saffron, two tablespoons of ouzo and a pinch of cayenne pepper. The spice (but only one of them!) is added before the soup is heated. Especially the saffron gives the dish a pleasing reddish colour.
