Quick Gazpacho
2 servings
70 minutes
Gazpacho is a traditional Spanish cold soup with roots in Andalusian cuisine. Its refreshing taste combines the gentle acidity of tomatoes, the sweetness of peppers, and the spicy notes of garlic and onion. Quick gazpacho retains the best features of the classic recipe but simplifies the preparation process, making it an ideal summer meal. Cold and rich in vitamins and aromas of fresh vegetables, it quenches thirst and awakens appetite. Olive oil adds a silky texture, while herbs and fresh vegetables as toppings provide additional depth of flavor. Gazpacho can be served as a standalone dish or used as a light appetizer before the main meal.

We chop all the vegetables in a blender; if the blender is small, we chop in parts, combining the prepared mass in a large pot, adding 3-4 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste.
