PISTACHIO SOUP



Pistachio Soup image

Using pureed nuts as a thickener is common in the Middle East, but the flavor that Najmieh Batmanglij coaxes from pistachios in this creamy soup is a revelation. Sprinkled on top before serving, a mix of sour barberries, tamed slightly with grape molasses, and toasted whole pistachios adds a tart crunch. Courtesy Gourmet Magazine.

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

3/4 cup unsalted shelled pistachio (4 oz, not dyed red)
2 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth (16 fl. Oz)
1 medium leek (white and pale green parts only)
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon finely grated peeled fresh ginger
1/8 teaspoon cayenne
1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon cumin seed
1/2 teaspoon coriander seed
2 cups water
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon turmeric
2 tablespoons rice flour
2 tablespoons dried barberries (aka "zereshk"... you can substitute cranberries soaked first in hot water)
1/2 teaspoon grape juice concentrate (grape molasses) or 1/2 teaspoon grape jelly
6 tablespoons fresh orange juice
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

Steps:

  • Cook shelled pistachios in a small saucepan of boiling water 1 minute, then drain and rub off skins.
  • Transfer ½ cup skinned pistachios to a blander (reserve remainder), then add broth and blend until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Chop leek and wash in a bowl of cold water, agitating it, then lift out with a slotted spoon and transfer to a bowl along with onion, garlic, ginger and cayenne.
  • Heat 2 T oil in a 3-4 quart heavy saucepan over moderately high heat until just beginning to smoke, then cook cumin and coriander seeds, stirring, until fragrant and a shade or two darker, 10 to 30 seconds. Stir in leek mixture, then reduce heat to moderately low and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Add pistachio puree, water, salt, pepper, and turmeric, then whisk in rice flour and bring to a boil, whisking constantly. Reduce heat to low and gently simmer, covered, whisking occasionally, 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat remaining ½ T oil in a 7-8" heavy skillet over moderate heat until hot but not smoking, then cook barberries, grape molasses, and remaining ¼ c skinned pistachios, stirring, until combined and heated through, 30 seconds to 1 minute. (be careful not to burn barberries) Transfer to a small bowl.
  • Puree soup in 2 or 3 small batches in blender (use caution when blending hot liquids) until smooth, transferring to a large bowl.
  • Return soup to pot, then stir in juice and bring to a simmer. Season with salt and pepper. Serve soup topped with pistachio mixture.
  • Cooks' note: Soup, without citrus juice, can be made 1 day ahead and cooled, uncovered, then chilled, covered. Reheat, stirring in juice.
  • Pistachio topping can be made 1 day ahead and kept covered at room temperature.
