Spanish Summer Recipes: Cold Soups<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. Gazpacho<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

By far Spain’s most famous contribution to the world of cold soups, gazpacho is a tried-and-true classic, and Spanish summer staple. Our co-founder Lauren’s recipe takes the best part of some 20 gazpacho recipes and combines them to make the ultimate cold soup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This Malaga staple is a creamy white soup, with a base of almonds! It dates back to the times of Moorish rule in Spain\u2014centuries before tomatoes made it to the Iberian Peninsula, making ajoblanco<\/em> the original cold Spanish soup, and one of our favorite Spanish summer recipes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
