Gazpacho

Gazpacho is a cold tomato-based soup from Andalusia, blending ripe tomatoes with cucumber, red pepper, garlic, olive oil, sherry vinegar, and stale bread into a silky, refreshing soup served well chilled. It dates back to Roman times and evolved after New World tomatoes reached Spain in the 16th century. It is the perfect antidote to Andalusia's scorching summer heat, served in virtually every bar and restaurant in Seville, Malaga, and Cordoba.
