What is Gazpacho?
Gazpacho, cold soup of Spanish cuisine, especially that of Andalusia. It is an ancient dish mentioned in Greek and Roman literature, although two of the main ingredients of the modern version, tomatoes and green peppers, were brought to Spain from the New World only in the 16th century.
Gazpacho Soup Recipe Preparation
Start by peeling the tomato skins. Boil water in a large saucepan, make a small cross cut with a knife under the bunch of tomatoes. Hibernate ice water on the edge. Wait 30-40 seconds in boiling water until the membranes peel off, then shock in ice water to stop cooking. You will see that the tomato peels are easily peeled off without any damage.
