    This traditional dish is nothing less than a cold soup made from tomatoes and peppers. Fresh and cool, this soup is spicy and seasoned with sea salt. Luckily, the recipe is simple and inexpensive to make, and the soup is refreshing and nutritious. Feel free to add or remove various ingredients according to your preferences.

    I love having this gazpacho for a light summer snack, but it also makes a great side for a full summer meal. For a full meal, serve this soup with grilled summer squash or pulled squash sandwiches and finish off with some tasty pie!

    How to Make Authentic Gazpacho Soup

    1. Blanche, peel, and core tomatoes.
    2. Blend all ingredients together.
    3. Serve soup.

    Authentic Gazpacho Soup FAQs

    What is gazpacho soup?

    Gazpacho soup is a soup made of raw vegetables blended together and served cold. It comes from Spain and Portugal, and you will find it served often in the summertime.

    To make the most authentic gazpacho, you'll need to crush your vegetables with a mortar and pestle. But a food processor or blender works just as well!

    Can you freeze gazpacho soup?

    Yes, gazpacho soup is perfect for freezing! If you decide to freeze your leftover soup, you will first want to make sure that you have blended your soup until completely smooth.

    Then simply freeze your soup in freezer-safe bags or containers until you're ready to eat it again. The soup will keep well in the freezer for up to 6 months.

      Do you have any recommendations on what kind of meal this soup might pair well with? i've been trying to force myself to try different recipes and this seems really easy to do so I've love to find something that'll compliment it as well.

      Bryan, since gazpacho is very light (and though easy, requires a bit of chopping), it's a nice intro to a late summer meal of veggie burgers (homemade or readymade!). Add corn-on-the-cob or a simple potato or sweet potato dish, and you've got a hearty and easy meal.
