COLD TOMATO SOUP
Why make it?
Cold tomato soup, or "salmorejo," comes from sunny southern Spain. It's healthy, delicious, and so refreshing in the summer!

Cold tomato soup, or salmorejo, is one of my favorite Spanish foods. Today I'm making my mother-in-law's famous recipe!
My trick for peeling tomatoes quickly and easily: boiling water + ice bath!
Our first blend will be just the tomatoes. Purée them down into a liquid sauce.
Now we'll add the bread to the tomato liquid, mix by hand, and let it sit for a bit.
Once the bread has been soaking for a few minutes, add the vinegar, salt, and garlic. Then blend again!
While it's blending, slowly pour in your extra virgin olive oil a little bit at a time.
Secret ingredient: hard boiled egg to make it super creamy! Feel free to omit for a vegan version.
Serve chilled and top with bits of hardboiled egg and cured Spanish ham! I hope you love this recipe!
