Gaspacho - cold fire

The taste of summer vegetable soup, has been with me for a long time.  However, despite the fact that it is already May, it's always cold and rain keeps falling from the sky, for this soup, you need the sun!  

  Today, at last a beautiful summer day. It's lazy and it smells like the warm wind. I turn toward the sun and greedily catch the rays. In the Italian grocery store across the street I buy scented sun tomatoes. I know, today will be - gaspacho.

Soup trivial. Soup nothing. This soup is not soup. And yet, incredibly delicious and rich in taste. Gaspacho during the summer in New York is very popular. You can get it in most restaurants, bistros and even delis. It tastes great with pita bread and of course, with a cold beer
