Amount Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
10            cloves garlic -- (to 12)
2               cups blanched almonds -- heaping
5             ounces sourdough bread -- (4 to 5 slices) crusts
removed
1                cup low-fat milk -- or almond milk for a vegan
version
1                cup chik'n stock -- to 2 cups, or water
1               dash drizzle sherry vinegar
1               dash drizzle Tuscan extra virgin olive oil
                        Sea salt
                        Freshly ground black pepper
1        small bunch green grapes -- quartered
2             sprigs fresh marjoram -- chopped, or to taste

Preheat the oven to 400oF. Bake the garlic cloves for
about 20 minutes or
until soft. Break the bread into smaller pieces, then
drizzle and soak in
the milk.

Using a food processor blend the almonds until good and
fine, and have
almost stuck to the side of the bowl.

Throw in the soaked bread and the soft inside of the
roasted garlic, add a
little chicken stock or water and blend. When you have a
fine puree,
gradually add in enough stock or water to make a thickish
soup
consistency.

Finish by seasoning with salt and pepper, and a good
drizzle of sherry
vinegar and olive oil.You can garnish with some quartered
green grapes
mixed with chopped marjoram on top.
