This delicious Spanish Gazpacho is perfect to serve (cold) and wonderfully refreshing on a hot day as a snack or appetizer. This recipe can be prepared in advance!

Mix all the vegetables with the basil in a blender until you have a smooth emulsion. Put the cold soup into a large mixing bowl and add the vinegar, bread crumbs and water.

Stir well and season with salt & pepper and tabasco.

Beat with a whisk the olive oil. Make the soup one day ahead or leave minimum of 4 hours in a cooling environment. Serve in a nice glass with bread sticks or in a deep plate with bread croutons sprinkled over it!

Bring on the sun!

Enjoy!
