Everyone who visits Spain when the weather is warm returns home with pleasant memories of refreshing cold gazpacho. And most women want to duplicate this vegetable soup in their own kitchens. We have worked out a recipe for it, knowing that many country women have the important makings in their gardens.

It takes time to chop the vegetables, but the results are worth the cost in minutes and effort. While you can use your blender for the chopping, you lose some of the desired texture. Also you can use salad oil instead of olive oil, but you get a different flavor from the truly great Spanish soup.
