Gazpacho - Cold Soup

We have a hot spring time for the last couple of weeks. This is a bit uncommon and these long stretches of heat makes you think of preparing summer food.


Cold soups are usually not my favourite. I regularly prefer them hot even in summer. But there are a few exceptions. One it them is Gazpacho, the veggie summer soup.

A couple of juicy tomatoes, yellow and red bell pepper, 1/2 cucumber and one clove of garlic.
Seasoned with salt and pepper and put into the blender.
When  you prepare the veggie and do not need the soup right away, just put the cut up veggies into the fridge.
Mix them in a blender with a little water and put it back into the fridge.
Before you serve it, put in a diced up slice of toast or baguette without the crust, 2 tbsp oil, 1 tbsp red wine vinegar and 4 tbsp of carbonated water.
Give it a good blend.


We served the soup with more toasted bread, a skewer with thin sliced cucumber and a smoked hardboild quail egg.
