Cold gazpacho soup
4 servings
10 minutes
Gazpacho is a legendary cold soup from sunny Spain. Its history traces back to Andalusian cuisine, where farmers mixed available ingredients to create a refreshing dish for hot days. This gazpacho captivates with its rich tomato base, a hint of sherry vinegar's acidity, and aromatic garlic notes. Sweet pepper adds softness while a dash of Tabasco and red chili brings spiciness. White bread gives the soup a delicate texture and icy water refreshes the taste. Gazpacho is perfect for a summer lunch or light dinner, providing a sense of coolness and freshness. It is served chilled, often with crispy croutons or sliced vegetables. It's not just soup; it's a culinary journey to the heart of Spain!
