Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup blanched almonds
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 3 cups cold water
  • 3 cups white bread cubes crust removed
  • Kosher salt to taste
  • 1 teaspoon sherry vinegar plus extra if desired
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil plus extra for garnish
  • Green seedless grapes for garnish
  • Toasted almonds for garnish
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Place almonds, garlic, water, and white bread in a blender. Blend on high until the mixture is very smooth. Stop and scrape down the sides if needed.
  • Add salt, sherry vinegar, and olive oil. Blend briefly until everything is combined and the soup is creamy. If the soup is too thick, add a little more cold water to reach your preferred consistency. If desired, pass the soup through a fine mesh strainer.
  • Transfer the soup to a sealed container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Before serving, give the soup a good stir.
  • Serve cold in bowls and garnish with halved green grapes, a sprinkle of toasted almonds, and a few fresh mint leaves. Drizzle a little extra olive oil if desired.
