This is a marvelous-looking white soup and I would be hard-pressed to guess that it’s a white gazpacho. I’m very intrigued and would have to try to make this soon. Bookmarked. Thanks for sharing this.

What a wonderful sounding recipe…I love white soups like vichyssoise and Maine chowd-ah (which is thin and delicate), and I really like the sound of thickening the soup with bread, anything with garlic has to be good in my book and the grapes seem like a perfect counterpoint…needless to say I will be trying this soon! Thanks for sharing!

Hi Patricia - Hope you saw the bacon and cheddar scone blog, too - since it’s about Atlantic Baking Company in Rockland. I kind of have to disagree about Maine fish chowder - I lived in Camden for 15 years, and the weekly fish chowder supper at the American Legion featured a chowder that was thin, for sure (no thickening in the broth), but I wouldn’t term it delicate, since it was packed with potatoes, onions, and fish. Plain, and good. Ditto the strawberry shortcake which usually followed the chowder - also plain, and SO good. How’s Belfast these days? More arts than chicken, huh? PJH

I tried this recipe and was pleased with it. I love garlic but I think it was even too garlicky for me. I thought that maybe I would roast some garlic to see if it has enuf garlic without the bite. It could be my garlic was not as fresh as it should be. I don’t hv AP bread in my house so I used whole wheat and I made 1/2 a recipe since it is just my husband and me. The gazpacho was fine. I was surprised how much the grapes added to the soup. In south Texas this cool soup was a winner and will be made again.

Love to try different recipes so hurried to make the Gazpacho. Had everything except I had red grapes, which worked great. Cut the recipe in half for the two of us. Was so glad I had leftovers for the next day. It is hot and humid in Kansas this week so made the croutons in the microwave. This is a keeper recipe. Have so many I have printed from your site I had to make a notebook for them. Thanks.

Think I’ll make this to have in the fridge whenever my daughter & family get here Saturday afternoon or evening. It’ll be all made, no heating up the kitchen…thanks!

Im so excited to try this recipe. I had a similar soup at Mishy’s here in Miami. PJ, thank you so much for your blog — I love it.

Jan, since you’re from Miami, wait till you see tomorrow’s post - Cuban sandwiches. I look forward to your response, since you have access to “the real thing.” - PJH

How many servings does this make? It sounds wonderful but there are just two of us.

This makes about 9 cups, about 8 servings. And it keeps very well. Invite someone over; or enjoy it for a week! - PJH

What Bread Machine are you using to make TWO (2) loaves of bread in 3 1/2 hours?

Here’s the trick: TWO bread machines, Zojirushi X20s, my favorites. We have seven in the test kitchen… Lucky us! - PJH
