Steps:
- Take the bread crumbs of the french loaf,only the white ones not the crust,and soak them in cold water for half an hour.
- In blender, put bread crumbs (slightly squeezed), garlic, almonds, oil, vinegar and salt. Blend until smooth.
- Pour the mix in a big soup bowl and put it in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
- Once you're going to serve the soup, pour ice cold water in the mix, a little at a time, mixing well until the desired consistency (it should be like gazpacho, creamy not too watery) and add the peeled, whole grapes.
- Notes:.
- Grapes should be sweet, white ones not the red variety.
- Don't use a strong virgin oil but a mild, refined one of about 0'4ยบ acidity.
- Enjoy!
