Gazpacho originates from the southern Spanish region of Andalusia and is now popular throughout Spain and beyond. It is a cold soup traditionally prepared with fresh ingredients such as tomatoes 🍅, cucumbers 🥒 and peppers 🫑. Originally, gazpacho was made by shepherds from stale bread and olive oil. Today it is synonymous with the sun-drenched Mediterranean way of life 🌞.

Step by step instructions for the preparation of vegan gazpacho 🗒️

Prepare gazpacho is amazingly simple and fast.

Start by washing the tomatoes, cucumber and bell bell pepper 🚿. You can then cut the tomatoes and cucumber into rough pieces, seed the peppers and cut them into pieces as well.
Then peel the onion and garlic and chop into small pieces.
Now put all the ingredients in a large blender. Add the olive oil, red wine vinegar and some salt and pepper. Mix everything together until it has a smooth consistency.
After you have mixed the soup, you can pass it through a sieve. This is optional, but it makes for a particularly smooth consistency.
Finally, cover the gazpacho and let it cool in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. This allows the flavor to fully develop.

Variations and serving suggestions 👨‍🍳

There are many ways to adapt the gazpacho to your personal taste. For example, you can add fresh herbs like basil 🌿 or mint. Or you can add some avocado 🥑 or pickled red onions to the finished soup. Serve the gazpacho ice cold in deep plates and garnish with fresh tomato pieces, cucumber slices and / or herbs. A few drops of good olive oil and a pinch of freshly ground black pepper on top finish the soup perfectly. Add a fresh baguette 🥖 and you have the perfect, refreshing summer snack. Enjoy! 🥣
