Gazpacho Recipe
Kymythy’s Kitchen Nutrition: Health and Comfort Soup
by Kymythy R. Schultze, CN
www.Kymythy.com
Question:
I love soup on a chilly day, but I’d like to try something new that I
can make for myself that’s also impressive enough to prepare for guests.
Any ideas?
Answer: Soup is indeed a supreme comfort food and is a very
versatile food. It can be served as a first course or entrée. Following
is a soup recipe that should please your palate and those of your
friends.
Gazpacho is a traditional chilled Spanish soup but can be heated in the
winter and served chilled during warmer weather. In addition to tasting
delicious, it’s a good way to hydrate the body with fluid and nutrients.
Using beautiful ripe tomatoes (organically-grown are the best) will give
your soup luscious color and flavor.
The cilantro in this recipe is also called Chinese parsley and
coriander. It has an aroma that gives away its relation to fennel and
anise. It’s a good source of vitamin A, with more than 270 IUs per
quarter cup. It also offers fiber, calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus,
potassium, copper, manganese, zinc, and vitamins C, E, K, and B. This
herb is used as a digestive aid, especially for gas and colic, and it
has strong antioxidant power. Chew on some to remove “garlic breath.”
Gracie’s Gazpacho
8 Roma tomatoes
1 cucumber
1 green pepper
4 stalks of celery, with leaves
3 garlic cloves, peeled
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon thyme
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Sea salt and pepper to taste
Put all ingredients except salt and pepper into a food processor and
blend until smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste, and serve warm or
chilled with a little cilantro garnish. This soup is great the next day
too…if you have any leftovers, that is! Makes about 5 cups.
