Gazpacho
Soup usually is something that warms you up on a cold winter's evening and thus something people usually crave when it's cold. So with a heatwave like this in the air, what's a poor soup addict to do?
Luckily the Spanish have found the perfect solution to this dilemma: gazpacho. A chilled vegetable soup that is simple to make, does not require any cooking (no hot hobs!) and is thus perfect for a summer evening.
Things you'll need:
500 gram tomatoes
1 large cucumber
1 onion
1 red bell pepper
1 stock cube
500 ml water
Salt and pepper according to taste
A tablespoon of olive oil
A table spoon of vinegar
Sun dried tomatoes in a jar (for garnish)
How it's done:
Dice the vegetables and throw them in a pot
Season with the salt, pepper, oil and vinegar and mix them
Crush the stock cube and add to the mixture
Blend everything together with a stick blender
Add the water and blend again
Serve the soup in bowls and garnish with the sun dried tomatoes
Serve with some garlic bread
