30 minutes
Mexican gazpacho is a bright, refreshing variation of the classic Spanish soup that incorporates spicy notes of Mexican cuisine. Its rich tomato flavor enhanced by aromatic garlic, fresh cucumbers, and chili heat awakens the appetite and provides an energy boost. Historically, gazpacho originated in Spain as a simple peasant dish but over time its recipes spread worldwide and gained national characteristics. In the Mexican version, the soup is complemented with avocado, lime juice, and cilantro creating a rich and deep bouquet of flavors. Gazpacho is perfect for summer heat; it is served cold with corn chips and sour cream making it even juicier and more harmonious. It’s not just a soup but a culinary journey into the sunny world of Mexico!
