Salmorejo is a traditional Spanish cold soup originating from the region of Andalusia. It is primarily made from ripe tomatoes, bread, olive oil, vinegar, and garlic, blended into a smooth, creamy texture. This dish is often served chilled, making it a refreshing option during hot weather. Typically garnished with hard-boiled eggs and jamón ibérico, a type of cured ham, salmorejo is both nutritious and flavorful. It is similar to gazpacho, another cold soup, but salmorejo is thicker and richer due to the addition of bread. This dish is popular as a starter or light meal in Spanish cuisine.
