Gazpacho is a cold soup, historically it is said to be originated in Spain. There are many different recipes, some may have carrot, others include a bit of apple, but traditionally it is made from tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper and garlic as the main ingredients.

It is ideal to cool off on hot summer days, served very cold. We love to accompany it with toasted bread.

It’s really easy to make, you just need to blend all the ingredients together, chill and serve. It is not necessary to strain it. The only observation we have, is that you might need to blend in batches, if all the ingredients don’t fit into your blender. You can also use a food processor, but we prefer a blender for this. The texture will be smoother.

We found some great items at Almacenes Siman, like this beautiful pot we wanted to show you. Even though this soup doesn’t have any stove top time, you can use it to serve the soup in. We also found a nice cutlery set and a ceramic item which we loved for kitchen decoration.
