Ingredients

• 3 cups Day-old white bread (crusts removed)
• 1 cup Water
• 1 cup Blanched almonds
• 1 large English cucumber (peeled, seeded, and chopped)
• 2 Garlic cloves
• 3 tablespoons White wine vinegar
• 0.5 cup Extra virgin olive oil
• 0.5 cup Grapes (green, seedless, halved)
• 2 cups Water (cold, for blending)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground white pepper
• 4 Ice cubes (optional, for additional chilling)

Directions

Step 1

Start by tearing the day-old bread into small pieces and place it in a bowl. Pour 1 cup of water over the bread and let it soak for 10 minutes.

Step 2

In a blender, combine the blanched almonds, chopped cucumber, garlic cloves, and the soaked bread along with the soaking water.

Step 3

Add the white wine vinegar, olive oil, 2 cups of cold water, salt, and white pepper to the blender.

Step 4

Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy. If the consistency is too thick, add a little more cold water to achieve your desired texture.

Step 5

Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with additional salt or vinegar if needed.

Step 6

Transfer the soup to a large bowl or container. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to let the flavors meld.

Step 7

Serve the white gazpacho chilled, garnished with halved green grapes and, if desired, ice cubes for extra coolness.
