Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups walnuts toasted
  • 3 cups unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/3 cup allulose or preferred keto sweetener
  • 1 tbsp glucomannan powder mixed with 2 tbsp water
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

  • Grind the toasted walnuts in a high-powered blender with 1 cup of the almond milk until very smooth.
  • Pour the walnut mixture into a saucepan with the remaining almond milk, allulose, and cinnamon. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring often.
  • Stir in the glucomannan slurry and simmer 2-3 minutes, until the soup thickens to a velvety consistency.
  • Serve warm in small bowls.

Notes

Chef's Tip: Toasting the walnuts before blending deepens their flavor significantly compared to using them raw. Keto Swaps: a glucomannan slurry replaces the traditional rice flour thickener, and allulose replaces sugar.
