A Jo Blanco
A creamy white garlic soup, this is usually made with stale bread. As with gazpacho, but do not add the bread, nevertheless the result is simply delicious.

Details
Serves: 4
Method
Blend the almonds, garlic, water or milk, which makes a richer soup and salt in a food processor. Alternatively, crush the almonds and garlic in a mortar with a pestle and mix with the water or milk and salt.
Gradually stir in the oil, then the vinegar. Add more salt if necessary. This soup is traditionally served with sliced grapes, but melon balls or diced apples are equally good.
