This soup was a complete disaster. It was bland, grainy, and way too thick. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my soup turned out grainy. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This soup was a bit too thick for my taste. I would recommend adding more water or broth to thin it out.

This ajoblanco soup was a delight! The flavors of the almonds, garlic, and grapes harmonized perfectly, creating a wonderfully smooth and creamy texture. I garnished mine with chopped hard-boiled eggs and croutons, which added a nice contrast of text
