Gazpacho - a refreshingly cold, raw tomato based soup from Spain

A delicious, healthy and refreshing chilled soup from Spain.


Made predominantly from raw tomatoes, peppers, cucumber, onion and garlic blended together with sherry vinegar and extra virgin olive oil, this soup can be anything from a starter, to a main or a tapa - and on a hot summer's day it's wonderful to be able to just reach into the fridge and pour yourself some out!
 

 

Makes approximately 1.3 litres (or see Notes for double), hence it makes six servings of 220ml.
820 calories for the full batch including extra virgin olive oil (or if you're fasting, you can leave it out, and it will then be 286 calories for the entire quantity).

Hence 136 calories for a 220ml/g serving including the extra virgin olive oil (or 48 calories for a 210ml/g serving excluding extra virgin olive oil) - obviously adding chopped up salad toppings will add a few more calories, and adding a drizzle of EVOO (extra virgin olive oil) will add around 120 calories per tbsp.
