If you have a knack for nuts, this Walnut Soup is just right for you! It has a great taste and comes with all the nutritional benefits of walnuts. In small portions, it is a great starter for your holiday meal or New Year’s party.
Healthy Walnuts
There are so many nutrients in walnuts but their health benefits are even better. They can lower blood pressure, reduce inflammation, keep cancer cells from growing, … so they are real power-houses. That’s why I always have a big bag of walnuts here to snack on.

Walnut Soup is filling!
A fair warning: This soup is very filling and if you plan it as a starter (which I recommend), you should serve it in very small portions. I once had it served at a birthday party in tiny glasses with little edible spoons. It was so delicious and left enough space for the other courses.
Make Ahead
You can make this soup two days ahead and just reheat it at the event. I wouldn’t freeze it though. For the consistency, you can decide if you want it to be rather liquid or a bit more creamy by just adding more or using less of the broth. For the broth I would recommend though to use a good quality / great taste.
