This appears to be "Chebolace" from the Form of Cury, which appears 
as recipe #23 "savory green soup" in the second ed. of _Pleyn Delit_.  
That edition calls for rice flour, not arrowroot, which Hieatt explains as 
her own addition to aid the eggs in thickening the broth.  The original 
recipe does not call for almonds or almond milk.
