Gazpacho is a Spanish cold soup made of raw fresh veggies, stale bread, vinegar, garlic, and olive oil. Let’s say- it’s a salad soup. The ingredients, texture, and thickness of gazpacho vary regionally and by family. When I worked as a cook at North Abraxas (we used to make this dish and serve it with some ice cubes. Instead of adding a little bit of water to the soup, I keep it thick and let the ice cubes melt within, cooling down the soup. Even if it’s not necessarily traditional, it is LIT! You can make this gazpacho in advance and keep it in the fridge. It can last up to 2-3 days, but I promise you will finish it right away. Try to use veggies bought from your local farmers’ market because it’s all about the quality and freshness of your ingredients.
