The day I went to the speciality food shop Casas Pedro, I bought more Brazil nuts than I knew what to do with. I’ve read all about the health benefits of Brazil nuts, but I adore castanha do pará because eating them brings together all the wonderful elements of a nut and a coconut in a single pod. I often use Brazil nuts for baking, but I also love them in this savoury soup. The coconut flavours from the Brazil nut makes this warm and creamy soup a revelation.
