Why is gazpacho considered a soup?

[Idris]

Hey folks, why do we label gazpacho as a soup? Despite being served cold, it meets soup criteria, blending various ingredients into a liquid meal. Traditionally, soups are hot, but gazpacho breaks the mold with its chilled, savory blend. Curious to hear your thoughts on what makes this dish fit the soup category.

Hey there! Interesting question! I think gazpacho gets labeled as a soup because of its similar preparation method to traditional hot soups. Even though it's served cold, it still involves blending various ingredients into a liquid base. Plus, it's often consumed as a starter or light meal just like many hot soups.

Gazpacho might be served cold, but it shares a lot of similarities with hot soups in how it's made and enjoyed. From blending all those fresh ingredients to savoring it as a refreshing starter, gazpacho definitely earns its place in the soup family
