This is similar to a classic gazpacho, but with no tomato and peppers.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup leeks, white and light-green parts only, thinly sliced crosswise
- 2 English cucumbers – peeled, quartered and chopped
- 8 green grapes
- ¼ cup slivered blanched almonds
- 1/3 cup creme fraiche
- 1 cup French bread cubes
- 2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
- 1 ½ cups cold water, or more as needed
- salt, plus more to taste
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
Directions
Step 1
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook and stir leeks until soft, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove to a plate and allow to cool.
Step 2
Place cucumbers in a blender with grapes, almonds, 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, creme fraiche, bread cubes, vinegar, cooled leeks, and water. Puree until smooth, about 1 minute. Strain through a fine mesh sieve. Cover and chill for 1 to 2 hours.
Step 3
Taste and season with salt and cayenne pepper. If needed, add some more vinegar. Serve garnished with dill oil (see note), thinly sliced grapes, slivered almonds, and fresh dill.
Cook’s Notes:
Make a garnish of dill oil for drizzling on top of the soup. Simply smash some fresh dill in mortar and pestle and slowly drizzle in vegetable oil.
