Royal Gazpacho Soup

 

Soup

Easy to make from abundant summer vegetables like tomatoes and cucumber. Served with hearty bread this soup will be at the top of my favorite meal list.

Served

This is a most refreshing summer soup full of raw vegetables and wonderful flavor. Fresh ripe tomatoes by themselves are already delicious but in combination with cucumber and bell peppers they are simply of royal status in their own right attested to also by the Spanish tradition of this treat.
