White Gazpacho with Grapes

This creamy soup is a staple in southern Spain, particularly around the area of Málaga. Finely ground almonds give the soup body, while green grapes impart a refreshing contrast to its vinegary tang. Leaving the crust on the bread enhances the flavor of this chilled soup.
