Ingredients
2 cups low-sodium chicken stock
1/4 cup almond butter
1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
2 fresh basil leaves, chopped
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3/8 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon sliced almonds, for garnish (optional)
Directions
Pour the chicken stock into a small saucepan and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Whisk in the almond butter until fully combined and smooth, breaking up any lumps.
Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, white pepper, cayenne pepper, and kosher salt. Stir well and simmer for 2-3 minutes until the flavors meld.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional black pepper as desired.
Pour the soup into a bowl and top with fresh chopped basil and sliced almonds if using. Serve immediately.
Comments
This is a single-serving soup that genuinely comes together in five minutes if you have almond butter and sun-dried tomatoes on hand, but those two ingredients force a special trip to Harris Teeter or ALDI, adding real friction to a weeknight. The cost per serving runs $4–5 depending on almond butter quality and whether you're buying sun-dried tomatoes in bulk or a small jar. The stated time is honest for assembly, but it ignores that you need to heat stock and simmer briefly, so budget seven to eight minutes total. It's ideal for a solo lunch or light dinner and reheats well, though the small yield means it's not a family dish; the bigger caveat is that sun-dried tomatoes and almond butter are specialty ingredients in Charlotte, even at better-stocked chains.
