Spanish gazpacho is an antipyretic soup… Recommended in the summer heat! I’ve been a fan of the classic tomato gazpacho for a long time, but I tried the “green” version for the first time. Gazpacho with cucumbers and shrimp was on the menu of an elite restaurant in the German Alps. I was fascinated by this soup in a glass with its freshness, color and unusual combination!
If there is already a yellow color (“Golden” gazpacho), there is a green color (“Emerald” gazpacho), then how can there be no red?!!! That’s how the Red color appeared – “Ruby” gazpacho, that’s what I called it myself, but, actually, it’s just a classic tomato gazpacho.
Gazpacho is the name of a group of soups made on the basis of three ingredients: bread, garlic and olive oil. Gazpacho is a celebration of summer vegetables: tomatoes, cucumbers, onions and peppers.
