Since I was home alone, I updated this to 2 servings and had it all to myself. The flavor in this is very good. I didn't have an anaheim pepper so used a small jalapeno. The finished soup is smooth, and the crunchy pieces on top made for a nice combination. I really enjoyed this! Had it with breadsticks and a glass of red wine.

Very good and easy! I used about 5 garlic cloves and cut out the almonds.
