Gazpacho Andaluz Tradicional. (spanish cold soup) By a Spanish girl💃

[celicandoit]

1/2 kilo Ripe Tomato

1/2 Green Pepper.

1 Garlic Clove.

1/2 Cucumber.

1 tablespoon of olive oil.

4 tablespoons of wine vinegar.

1 slice of white bread (if you don't have , you can use sandwich bread)

a pinch of salt to taste

Blanch and peel the tomatoes and place in the blender glass, add the peeled and chopped cucumber, the pepper, the garlic and the bread soaked in water.

Blend for a few seconds and add the salt, vinegar and oil, testing to rectify if necessary.

Pass through a very fine strainer (to make it soft) and let it cool .

Serve the Andalusian gazpacho in individual cups accompanied by a garnish of bread cubes, cucumber, onion, tomato and hard-boiled egg , or just like that.

Advice : I recommend taking the gazpacho very cold, there are those who consume it with an ice inside.

Always in Spain in summer time, we have for dinner or before lunch "un gazpachito" and watermelon for desert. Remains me of spanish summer at homme.

(for lazy ones I recommend you Gazpacho Alvalle👌😉😉😉👌 you can find it in big Sainsbury's or when Spanish week in Lidl)

Sounds delicious, How will it work without the bread? I’m eating keto/strict low carb.

Hey PippiRuns, I have made many gazpachos without bread (mostly to keep them more low cals) and though they don't strictly count as 'authentic' spanish style gazpachos, I find it doesn't affect the taste and it's still delicious.

Thank you!

PippiRuns Yes is okay to without bread. with bread nicer, but anyway i think is nice. you can add some ice and blend it inside to.

I absolutely LOVE a gazpacho... my only problem when I make it, is I make a batch of it and then end up guzzling it every time I open the fridge for anything else cause I can't resist it. I like to make my own too, though it's nice to be able to just grab some from the supermarket, so thanks for the recommendation, I haven't tried Alvalle but will give it a go as Sainsburys is my local shop. I've had Ferrer from Waitrose before, and that one too is very nice, and I like to keep the glass bottle to store my own soups in the fridge. You make me look forward to spring and summer!!
