Gazpacho (Cold Vegetable Soup)

Hi everyone! Today I prepared this traditional recipe of southern Spain. Gazpacho is a cold soup made of vegetables and seasoned with olive oil and wine vinegar. In Spain it is mainly consumed during the summer. This is a delicious and healthy dish, full of colour and vitamins, perfect for hot days. Once cooked, just chill in the fridge for an hour and it is ready to serve. This dish keeps all its vitamins and properties up to 3 days and it is very low in calories. 

Ingredients:

(Serves 4)

3 big  ripe tomatoes
1 green pepper
1/2 cucumber
2 cloves of galic
200 g. bread
2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon of wine vinegar
1/2 tablespoon of salt

Difficulty and cooking time:

Easy
20 minutes

Method:

Wash the vegetables in cold water, removing stems and pepper seeds. Peel the tomatoes, the cucumber and the garlic.


Soak the bread in cold water until soft (about 3 minutes)


 Chop the vegetables into small pieces.


Place the chopped vegetables and the soaked bread in a large pot or jug, and mix everything with a blender.


Mix all the ingredients thoroughly, until the soup has a soft and even consistency.


Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil, a tablespoon of vinegar and half a tablespoon of salt. Stir well and chill  for an hour at least.


Don´t forget to stir well before serving it. Decorate with chopped pepper and cucumber.


Serve very cold.



I hope you like it!
See you soon,
