ReplyDeleteGazpacho, the famed cold soup from Spain, is also called chunky liquid salad! Have it on a hot summer day. The brown bread is an added idea for increasing the fibre in the soup. Gazpacho is rich in Vitamin C, low in calories and trans-fats and the garlic and olive oil help in reducing cholesterol levels.
