The worst chicken soup recipe I’ve ever cooked. Intriguing ingredients but mismatched & proportions are all wrong. Not enough chicken or ground almond in relation to the stock volume, and way too many spices, especially cloves. I have re-did it using 1/6 of the cloves, half the nutmeg and coriander and double the almond and chicken. Recipe is further improved by adding garlic, chilli and lemon zest and, and replacing the thyme with fresh coriander/cilantro.
Interesting flavor palette, but it's all utterly overwhelmed by the cloves — and I'm not being hyperbolic here. I can only surmise that it's an editing error (?). I should've trusted my instincts and reduced the amount. When I try this again, I'll cut the cloves down to 1/2 teaspoon, maybe less. (But I think the recipe's worth trying if you make a similar adjustment!)
