  1. Classic Gazpacho

Originated in Andalusia, gazpacho continues to be found all over the region with surprisingly few variations as chefs prefer to let the pure taste of tomatoes, vinegar and olive oil shine through. The freshly-ground cumin lends it an intriguing, smoky flavour.

INGREDIENTS

1 (2-inch long) piece baguette, crust discarded

2 garlic cloves

2 teaspoons salt

2 tablespoons vinegar

1 teaspoon sugar

1/2 teaspoon fresh ground cumin

1 kg ripe tomatoes, cored and quartered

1/2 cup mild extra-virgin olive oil

METHOD

Soak bread in half-a-cup water for one minute, then squeeze dry and discard soaking water. Mash garlic to a paste with salt.

Blend garlic paste, bread, two tablespoons vinegar, sugar, cumin, and half of tomatoes in a food processor until tomatoes are very finely chopped. Add the remaining tomatoes with motor running and, when very finely chopped, gradually add oil in a slow stream, blending until as smooth as possible, for about one minute.

Pour the soup through a sieve into a glass container, pressing firmly on solids. Discard solids, and chill the soup; keep covered until cold. Season with salt and vinegar before serving. Garnish with finely chopped red and green bell peppers.

2. Chilled Sweet Corn Soup

The secret to making any cold soup is using ingredients that are really fresh and in season.

For this soup use tomatoes, bell peppers, jalapeño pepper, onion and fresh corn. Cut the kernels off the cob, chop everything and put in a big bowl. Let it sit on your counter for an hour or two and then it all goes in the blender.
