Gazpacho — Cold Spanish Tomato Soup (#19)

“Gazpacho is the summer soup I could drink daily. It requires zero cooking — just blending and chilling. The quality of your tomatoes determines the quality of your soup.”

• 1 cucumber, peeled
• 1 red pepper
• 2 garlic cloves
• 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tbsp sherry vinegar
• Salt, black pepper
• Small piece of stale bread
• Ice-cold water as needed

Let’s Cook — Step by Step

1. Step 1 — Blend all vegetables, garlic, bread, olive oil, and vinegar until smooth.
2. Step 2 — Strain through a sieve for a silky texture.
3. Step 3 — Season well. Chill for at least 2 hours.
