Gazpacho

Gazpacho is Spanish tomato soup that is pureed with cucumber, red peppers, olive oil and spices. It is very easy to make and perfect to have on a hot summer evening.  Pair it with some great cheese, pepperoni slices and toasted bread, and it is delicious.

I made this on the boat on a hot Florida summer day.  The boat air conditioners were trying to keep up with the heat and humidity outside.  Since gazpacho is an uncooked soup, it was perfect since I didn’t have to start the propane stove to make it.

We had this with manchego cheese, pepperoni and toasted Italian bread.  We also had a cabernet sauvignon wine which had the body to stand up to the cheese and pepperoni.  (Just an extra tip when you make this, use the best extra virgin olive oil you have because the oil is a big flavor enhancer for this soup).

What a great summertime dinner!  Try this, you’ll like it.

Enjoy!
