Gazpacho – A recipe for refreshing cold tomato soup with bell pepper, cucumber, and basil. Gazpacho is a Spanish vegetable soup that is eaten cold.
Gazpacho is perfect to serve as a starter, preferably in small glasses or bowls, or as a main course on a hot summer day. Instead of garnishing with croutons, as I have done here, you can garnish with diced cucumber and tomato.
The croutons can either be bought or made yourself. Enjoy!
Croutons
4 slices of good bread, e.g. sourdough bread
Olive oil
Sea salt
Heat the oven to 185 C convection.
Cut the slices of bread into little cubes. Spread the cubes on a baking sheet lined with baking paper and drizzle with olive oil and salt. Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes until they are slightly golden and become crispy.
