Gazpacho is a Healthy, Refreshing Soup to Make at Home

Gazpacho is one of the most popular summertime dishes in Spain, with its cool, light, and refreshing properties making it perfect to beat the heat. This soup, which is served cold, is super easy to make at home if you have the right ingredients. Let’s learn how!

Ingredients:

• 1 pound ripe tomato
• ½ green pepper, sliced
• ½ cucumber, sliced
• ¼ white onion, diced
• 1 garlic clove, diced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 slices of slightly stale Italian bread
• ½ cup water
• 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
• 2 teaspoons salt

Instructions:

1. Start off by slicing the green pepper and cucumber, dicing the white onion and garlic, and cutting the ripe tomato into large chunks. Place them into a food processor or blender.
2. Once you’ve done this, crumble the bread and add it in with the vegetables. Add all of the liquid ingredients, as well as the salt, and then put the top on your food processor or blender.
3. If you’re using a blender, blend everything together on high or until everything is combined into a creamy, non-chunky soup. A food processor can also be used to do the job and it won’t require its highest setting, although plenty of speed should be used.
4. Chill for 2-3 hours or until cold, and then serve topped with a splash of olive oil and/or what’s remaining of the diced vegetables you used to make your gazpacho. Buen provecho!
