This recipe for homemade gazpacho soup (Short Girl, Tall Order) is a very popular soup in Spain, where it’s served chilled with chopped cherry tomatoes and cucumber. Made from garlic, chopped fresh tomatoes, cucumber, sweet onion, red pepper and salt, plus spiced with salt and has a little red wine vinegar to bring out the flavours.
Before cooking, read up on food safety for people and pets. Just bin garlic/onion/allium scraps (plus citrus and rhubarb) as the acids can harm compost creatures.
If you like making soup, invest in a stick blender, as it saves all the faffing around with washing jug blenders. When buying a new electrical appliance, UK says the store has to take the old one back. So take the dusty broken jug blender back to the store you buy a new one from, and it will be recycled on for you.
Also invest in Souper Cubes. Made from silicone, just pour leftover soup in, then freeze and the soup is ready to thaw and cook, whenever you want it.
