Spanish Chilled Almond and Garlic Soup
By DreiFromBK
White gazpacho is a chilled Spanish soup of almonds, bread, and garlic
- Serves 6 to 8
- This rich soup is best when served in small portions (about 6 ounces). Use a good-quality extra-virgin olive oil. Our favorite is Columela Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Too much almond extract can ruin the soup. Hence, the unusual mixing technique in step 4.
- Ingredients
- 6 slices hearty white sandwich bread, crusts removed
- 4 cups water
- 2 1/2 cups (8 3/4 ounces) plus 1/3 cup sliced blanched almonds
- 1 garlic clove, peeled
- 3 tablespoons sherry vinegar
- Kosher salt and pepper
- Pinch cayenne pepper
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
- 1/8 teaspoon almond extract
- 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
- 6 ounces seedless green grapes, sliced thin (1 cup)
