Sopa De Ajo Blanco Chilled Garlic Soup.

"The first time I mentioned this soup to my mother she recoiled over the thought of garlic soup being served cold. When I had her imagine a Vichyssoise with garlic her curiosity was peaked. This soup is very traditional in this area of Spain. It is easy to make and in one word: wonderful!"
