Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
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.
In a blender, combine the blanched almonds, chopped cucumber, garlic cloves, and the soaked bread along with the soaking water.
Add the white wine vinegar, olive oil, 2 cups of cold water, salt, and white pepper to the blender.
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.
Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with additional salt or vinegar if needed.
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.
Serve the white gazpacho chilled, garnished with halved green grapes and, if desired, ice cubes for extra coolness.
