Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Blanched almonds
- 2 slices White sandwich bread (crusts removed)
- 1 cup White grapes (seedless)
- 1 medium Cucumber (peeled, seeded, and diced)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 0.25 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Sherry vinegar
- 1.5 cups Cold water
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 medium Green apple (thinly sliced, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Sliced almonds (toasted, for garnish)
- 0.25 cup Additional white grapes (halved, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, soak the bread slices in 1/2 cup of cold water for 2-3 minutes until soft. Squeeze out excess water and set the bread aside.
In a blender or food processor, combine the blanched almonds, soaked bread, white grapes, diced cucumber, and minced garlic.
Pulse the mixture a few times to break everything down, then blend on high speed until smooth and creamy.
While the blender is running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil to emulsify the mixture. This step ensures a rich and creamy texture.
Add the sherry vinegar, 1 cup of cold water, and salt to the blender. Blend again to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Transfer the soup to a large bowl and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until very cold.
Before serving, stir the soup well and portion it into individual bowls or glasses.
Garnish each serving with thin slices of green apple, toasted sliced almonds, and halved white grapes.
Serve immediately and enjoy this refreshing, creamy White Gazpacho!
