Salmorejo: Spanish Tomato Bread Soup

Salmorejo is the lesser-known Andalusian cousin of gazpacho— it’s thicker, smoother, creamier, and super simple to make! This purée of tomatoes, bread, garlic, and vinegar is garnished with sliced egg, crispy fried chorizo (with a little of the rendered fat), a drizzle of olive oil, a dust of black pepper, and some grilled bread. Perfect for a hot summer night, this refreshing tomato bread soup will have your guests feeling like they’re in southern Spain.
