Spanish gazpacho
Description
A hearty and aromatic soup. I first tried the Spanish soup "Gazpacho," strangely enough, in France, on the French Riviera, where it is sold in supermarkets in packages similar to juice cartons. I really liked it, and since then I've been making it several times every summer. I'm sharing the recipe with you! Actually, there's no cooking involved—you just need to blend all the vegetables in a blender. The recipe is for two servings.
