This is a favorite of mine, and I think you can do away without the cream cheese and all the other dairy stuff if you have a good yogurt, such as the one from Rizal farm here in Manila (even though the idea of a yogurt soup might make most Filipinos squirm).

I find that this recipe always need a lot of “fine tuning”, because for some reason slight differences in the quality of the onions, the grapes etc can make a big difference. Anyway, this is a dish that will impress even the most blasÃ© eaters.

By the way, the recipe comes from Cordoba in Spain, where it is known as “Gazpacho Blanco”…

Hello MM! I see that my “favorite” colors are all being used in your photos! :-) It’s funny that my friend was telling me that no too long ago she had lunch at Mustard’s Grill and here you have made a recipe from its book. Napa is only about 45 minutes away from me. Anyhoo, this is one of the many recipes I will try especially when the weather warrants it. I think I’ll have to start my own binder called “MM’s Recipes”. :-) Take care!

Hi MM!
Am back in Japan now after spending almost 2 months in the US…mainland, Maui and Honolulu. It felt like a sauna after stepping off the plane here in Japan….so blistering hot!

Anyway, I do serve vergetarian meals 3 or 4 times a week and this one looks good.

as always, I enjoy your blog and wish I could avail myself again to the freshness of the ingredients you use as my mom used to buy—–especially fresh seafood.
