What it is

Andalusia's cold tomato soup: ripe tomatoes, bread, garlic, sherry vinegar and olive oil blended raw into a silky, scarlet refresher for brutal summers. Ingredients: ripe tomatoes, stale white bread, cucumber, green pepper, garlic, sherry vinegar, extra-virgin olive oil, salt, diced ham and egg to garnish. Recipe: 1) Salt chopped tomatoes; rest so they release juice. 2) Soak bread in the tomato mixture. 3) Blend everything, streaming in olive oil to emulsify glossy. 4) Chill at least 2 hours; adjust vinegar and salt cold. Serve: in glasses or bowls with jamón, egg and a thread of oil (its thicker cousin salmorejo comes from Córdoba). Flavor: bright, garlicky, sun-sweet acidity. History: tomato-less versions go back to Roman bread soups; the tomato arrived from the Americas and Andalusia's farmworkers made gazpacho the taste of the southern summer.
