GAZPACHO
========
Gazpacho soup, usually simply referred to as gazpacho, is a cold Spanish soup
originating in the Southern region of Andalusia. It is widely consumed
throughout Spain, neighboring Portugal (where it is known as gaspacho) and
certain Latin American countries. It descends from an ancient Andalusian
concoction based on a combination of stale bread, garlic, olive oil, salt, and
vinegar — a cold breadsoup. With the Columbian Exchange beginning in 1492, the
tomato and the bell pepper were brought to Europe.
