    How to Make Chilled Almond and Grape Bliss Soup

    1. Grind Almonds

    Start by grinding the blanched whole almonds in a food processor until they turn into a fine, powdery meal. This will create a smooth base for your soup.

    2. Blend Ingredients

    Add the soaked bread, garlic paste, and half a cup of extra virgin olive oil to the processor. Blend these ingredients together until they form a thick, smooth paste. You may add the almond extract at this stage, though it’s optional.

    3. Add Water and Season

    Gradually pour in about three cups of cold water while continuing to blend. Once you’re happy with the texture, season the soup with salt to taste and add two to three tablespoons of sherry vinegar.

    4. Chill Soup

    Transfer the soup to a bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least two hours.

    5. Serve and Garnish

    When you’re ready to serve, drizzle a bit of extra virgin olive oil on top and garnish each bowl with six or more seedless white grapes.

    Pitfalls and tips

    Select the Best Ingredients

    Choose fresh, plump grapes—preferably organic—and whole, raw, unsalted almonds for the best flavor and texture.

    Chill Thoroughly

    Allow enough time for the soup to cool in the refrigerator, letting the flavors meld and intensify.

    Strain for Silkiness

    Pass the blended soup through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth for a silky-smooth texture.

    Blanch and Peel Almonds

    Blanch almonds to enhance their flavor and create a more refined and creamy soup.

    Balance of Flavors

    Adjust sweetness with honey or agave and acidity with lemon juice to achieve the perfect balance between the grapes and almonds.
