[Sca-cooks] Cold soup with almonds

[Johnna Holloway]

It's interesting to run the ingredients as a search--

Ajo Blanco (Chilled Garlic and Almond Soup with Grapes)

There's an almond onion soup in Maxime de la Falaise's _Seven Centuries 
of English Cooking.

It's mentioned highly in the Florilegium.

Is there a pre-1600 recipe?
