Gazpacho — photo 1

Gazpacho is a cold Andalusian soup of raw ripe tomatoes, cucumber, green pepper and garlic blended with olive oil, sherry vinegar and a little bread. It is low in calories; most of its energy comes from the olive oil, and the raw vegetables keep their vitamin C. Serve it well chilled; leaving out the bread makes it lighter and free of gluten.
