Preparation
 

At this time of the year, few things are more refreshing than a big bowl of cold Gazpacho, a cold soup originally from Spain. Easy to prepare and highly recommended for lunch or dinner.

Put everything in a blender, and puree. Refrigerate 15 minutes, or until cold. Variations include substituting yellow tomatoes, red bell peppers, or balsamic vinegar, or adding a few sprigs of fresh basil.

Makes 1 serving.
