- About this Recipe
Spanish Cold Soup
Traditional gazpacho, a classic chilled soup made from pureed fresh vegetables, comes from the south of Spain, where summers are notoriously hot, and vegetables are abundant. Choosing fresh, high-quality ingredients is the key to a delicious soup. Choose ripe, ruby red tomatoes, small, firm cucumbers and bright, crisp peppers. And always use GOYA® Extra Virgin Olive Oil, for a soup with a smooth, velvety texture and a well-balanced taste.
