Gazpacho – a light cold soup from Spain

Gazpacho is an iconic cold soup from Andalusia and one of the most famous Spanish recipes .

This cold soup is the perfect lunch in the summer heat when you just need something light but also really good. I put together this recipe after visiting Spain a few years ago, where my husband and I were truly enchanted by the gazpacho. It's full of vegetables, very healthy and as a bonus? Extremely quick to prepare.

We love to prepare this cold gazpacho soup when we have an unexpected visitor in the summer and I know I always have all the ingredients at home. Gazpacho is simply the perfect summer recipe – quick, refreshing, full of fresh vegetables and flavors that will instantly transport you to the sun-drenched Mediterranean coast.
