Gazpacho

Gazpacho is a cold soup traditionally made from ripe tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, onions, garlic, bread, olive oil, vinegar, and seasoning. Originating from the southern regions of Spain, particularly Andalusia, it is especially popular during the hot summer months due to its refreshing nature. The ingredients are typically pureed or blended until smooth, though it can also be served chunky. Gazpacho is often garnished with diced vegetables or croutons for added texture. This dish is not only a staple of Spanish cuisine but also reflects the agricultural practices of the Mediterranean region, utilizing fresh, seasonal produce.
