Gazpacho is a cold summer soup that was originally made only with olive oil, vinegar, garlic, chopped onions, water, and salt and poured over left over bread. It changed with the addition of  different vegetables and the invention of the blender. The recipes vary across the different provinces and are always a subject of discussion.
