Gazpacho or Andalusian Gazpacho is a cold soup. A classic of Spanish cuisine, it originated in the southern region of Andalusia.
It is a blend of raw vegetables. Tomato gazpacho is quite popular but I prefer watermelon gazpacho as it is not as tart.
It's is quite refreshing in the hot summer months. The best part is it can be made in advance and refrigerated as it tastes better the next day.
