Number Of Ingredients 11

10 -12 cloves garlic
450 g blanched almonds
140 g sourdough bread, crusts removed (4-5 slices)
225 ml low-fat milk
450 ml chicken stock or 450 ml water
sherry wine vinegar
extra virgin olive oil
sea salt
fresh ground black pepper
1 bunch green grape, quartered
3 -5 sprigs fresh marjoram, chopped

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 200 C or 400 degrees F.
Bake the garlic cloves for about 20 minutes or until soft.
Break the bread into small pieces and soak in the milk.
Using a food processor, blend the almonds until fine.
Throw in the soaked bread and the soft inside of the roasted garlic.
Add a little chicken stock or water and blend.
When you have a fine purée, gradually add in enough stock or water to make a nice, thick, soup.
Finish by seasoning with salt and pepper and a good drizzle of sherry vinegar and olive oil.
Garnish with some green grapes and chopped marjoram on top.
