Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (3-inch-long) piece baguette, crust discarded
1 garlic clove
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 lb whole blanched almonds (3/4 cup)
1 tablespoon Sherry vinegar (preferably "reserva"), or to taste
1/2 cup mild extra-virgin olive oil (preferably Andalusian hojiblanca)
2 cups ice water
Garnish: 24 peeled seedless green grapes and 12 peeled cooked small shrimp (about 1/3 lb)

Steps:

  • Soak bread in 1/2 cup water 1 minute, then squeeze dry, discarding soaking water.
  • Mash garlic to a paste with salt using a mortar and pestle (or mince and mash with a large knife). Blend garlic paste and almonds in a food processor until nuts are as smooth as possible. Add bread and 1 tablespoon vinegar and, with motor running, add oil in a slow stream, then add ice water and blend well. Force purée through a fine sieve into a bowl, pressing firmly on solids. Discard solids.
  • Transfer soup to a glass container and chill, covered, until cold, about 3 hours. Season with salt and vinegar before serving.

This recipe was just okay. I thought the flavor was a bit bland.

I found that the soup was too thick for my taste, so I added a bit of water.

I was a bit skeptical that I'd like this soup served cold, but it was so refreshing and delicious!

I was amazed at how creamy this turned out, given that there's no dairy in it. And the flavor is amazing!

After making this once, it has become a fast favorite at my house. This is also good with a dollop of sour cream on top!

This cold almond soup was beautiful in color and texture and bursting with flavor. I used toasted Marcona almonds from Spain and a fruity olive oil.
