AuthorNote: Chris and I ate this soup in almost every restaurant we
visited while we were in Spain, and each was a little different. It's
bracing, smooth, and spicy but with a sweet edge provided by the grapes,
and it's especially appealing on a hot day. This is my version, and I
change the amount of garlic almost every time I make it - the number of
cloves depends on how big they are and whether you're in the mood for
mellow or intense.
