Steps:
- Place the diced bread in a blender. Sprinkle 1/2 c cold water and sherry vinegar over the bread, then blend until relatively smooth.
- Add the almonds, garlic and apple and blend until smooth.
- Carefully, with the blender still running, add the olive oil. (If this is not possible with your blender, add the oil, then blend again.)
- Add a little more water (around 2 Tbsp - 1/4 cup) to make a smooth, pourable consistency.** Add a little salt, if needed, to taste.
- Chill the soup, covered, for at least an hour to become well chilled. Or, if not possible, add a couple ice cubes to the mixture and blend them in well.
- To serve, divide the soup between two bowls and top each with some halved green grapes and a drizzle of olive oil.

This white gazpacho was a staple growing up; I remember slurping it directly from the bowl. It's made from stale bread and seasonings you have on hand and topped with grapes for a traditional touch. - Francine Lizotte, Surrey, British Columbia

Steps:
- 1. In a small bowl, pour enough cool water over the blanched almonds to cover and let them soak for 15 hours.
- 2. Remove the bread crust, cube it and press it down to make a cup; let it sit overnight. Remove the crust and cube a ¼ cup of bread for the topping; let it sit to dry out overnight.
- 3. The next day, pour heavy cream over the 1 cup of bread cubes, enough to absorb without making them too wet. As we stir the ingredients, the dried bread will absorb enormously; let it rest for 15 minutes.
- 4. Drain the blanched almonds and reserve 2 tablespoons for garnish.
- 5. In the jar of a blender, add soaked bread, blanched almonds, chicken broth, sherry vinegar, chopped garlic, ground sea salt and white pepper.
- 6. Place the lid and remove the cap. On low speed, process the ingredients until blended, about a minute. Taste and adjust if necessary before restarting the blender. In a slow stream, pour in the extra virgin olive oil. When the oil is all incorporated, taste again and adjust if necessary.
- 7. Pour the soup into a large bowl, cover and transfer to the fridge for at least 6 hours.
- 8. About 10 minutes before serving the soup, add a couple tablespoons of oil to a small skillet over medium heat. Add hot paprika and stir to blend with the oil.
- 9. When it gets hot, add the ¼ cup of bread and toss it around until well coated. Toast them until they get a nice golden color, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- 10. Remove from the heat and add a few bread cubes in the center of the bowl filled with soup. Add chopped blanched almonds on top, place some grapes around and finish with olive oil drops.
