even if it still isn't the tomatoes' season, the famous "gazpacho" soup can bring a bowl of flavor and vitality, using tiny cherry tomatoes (which are very sweet and aromatic). in addition, because we make a summer soup in a cooler season, we will perfume the soup with citrus fruit notes, which are found in abundance in this period.
gazpacho with orange is a great delight of spring (even in the winter, when days are cold), which makes us think about the heat of summer, sun, tan and holiday ... it's worth a few minutes to escape to sunny spain, you will return more energized after the spanish lunch!
