Andalusian Gazpacho |
|
Serves: 8
Your guests will wonder what makes this soup so smooth and creamy, but I'll bet that none of them will guess the secret ingredient. Make sure to chill it for at least 1 hour before serving, or add an ice cube to each bowl.
4 cloves garlic, sliced
2 red bell peppers or yellow bell peppers, seeded, deribbed, and coarsely chopped
1 cucumber, peeled and coarsely chopped
1/4 red onion, coarsely chopped
12 very ripe tomatoes, coarsely chopped
1 baguette bread (6-inch-long), dried overnight or toasted
3/4 cup olive oil
4 1/2 tablespoons Spanish sherry vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt
2 cups ice water
8 avocados slices for garnish
