Ajo Blanco con Uvas
"This is a cold, garlicky soup. In fact it is never cooked at all! In Spain they use fresh almonds, just out of their shells, so the taste will be different than the soup you had in Spain unless, of course, you have access to fresh almonds. Variation: Use a medium sized yellow melon instead of grapes, sliced into finger sized pieces. Reduce garlic to 3 cloves, don't toast the breadcrumbs and use 1/2 lb. ice, delete the water."
