White Almond Grape Soup (Low-Calorie)
A chilled Spanish-style almond and grape soup, built from a lightened almond-bread emulsion thickened with less oil and bread than the classic version, garnished with halved green grapes. Served cold as a starter, it carries garlic, sherry vinegar and olive oil in reduced amounts for a lighter, still creamy result.
