Method
- Put all the ingredients apart from the oil in a blender with 350ml water and whizz until smooth. Turn the speed to low and, with the motor still running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until the mixture emulsifies. Season with salt, then cover and chill overnight in the fridge.
- Slice the handful of grapes for the garnish. Divide the soup among bowls, top with the sliced grapes, a drizzle of oil and a grind of black pepper.
