Andalusian White Garlic Soup Method

Prepare the garlic oil: peel the garlic cloves and blanch in boiling water for some seconds. Drain and let cool. Cut in fine slices and cook for 2 to 3 minutes in the olive oil over a low heat. Don't let them go golden. Cool down in the same oil and put aside.

Place the bread inside a bowl and pour a bit of water in order to allow the bread to get soft. Once it has absorbed the water,  squeeze and put aside.

Use a blender to create a creamy soup out of the almonds, garlic cloves, vinegar, olive oil, bread and water.

Add salt to taste.

Pour some drops of the garlic oil on top.

Keep it in the fridge until just before serving.
