Today's recipe is gazpacho, a kind of tomato soup that is generally served cold. This was a request from a client. I must say that I've never eaten it or made it before. And there is no cooking involved! Everything is blended raw and served cold! It's a great summer soup with tons of flavor! With a dish like this, it's best to use the freshest ingredients that you can find. The flavor of each ingredient is enhanced because there is no cooking. I paired my gazpacho with a grilled steak in a tortilla for a refreshing dinner.
