Spanish style Gazpacho Soup
Description
10-Minute Gazpacho Soup. Why is gazpacho served cold? Gazpacho is served cold as a reflection of the hot region it originated from. The coolness of the soup is designed to cool you down on a hot day. Gazpacho can be served warm, but it is definitely made to be served cool.
My Son made this wonderful cool soup when he visited us. Everyone who tasted it, asked him for his Recipe.
I modified it just a little as I do not like so much of Garlic.

All tomato gazpacho recipes are not the same. But, most will have these essential ingredients: tomatoes, onion( I use Purple), green or red pepper, cucumber( small ones or English), olive oil, vinegar (sherry vinegar is more authentic to Andalusia, where gazpacho originated), Celery, Olive oil, Salt , Pepper, and if you like it more spicy, you can use a little chili powder.
