Gazpacho
Gazpacho is a refreshing and tangy cold Spanish soup that captures the essence of summer in a bowl. Packed with fresh tomatoes and elevated with a blend of spices, this soup provides a cooling, savory respite on a hot day. The addition of olive oil gives it a smooth texture, while the croutons and vegetables offer a delightful crunch. Whether served as a starter or a light meal, Gazpacho offers a burst of flavor and freshness in every spoonful.
