Pomi Tomatoes and a New Family Favorite Recipe- Gazpacho

Published August 7, 2012 | By Jennifer Sikora

I have never eaten Gazpacho before. It always sounded too fancy for me. In fact, I would watch them make it on tv and think, “man I wish I could make that”!

Thanks to Pomi Tomatoes, I can now say that I am a veteran at making the delicious Gazpacho!

What is Gazpacho?

According to Wikipedia, Gazpacho is a tomato-based, vegetable soup traditionally served cold, originating in the southern Spanish region of Andalucía. Gazpacho is widely consumed in Spanish cuisine, as well as in neighboring Portugal, where it is known as gaspacho. Gazpacho is mostly consumed during the summer months, due to its refreshing qualities and cold serving temperature.

I’ve been trying to find better alternatives to canned products, so when I first heard about Pomi Tomatoes, I was completely intrigued. Everything I received came in boxes instead of jars or cans, which helps keep it safe and healthy for you.

Thanks to their delicious products, I was able to create a wonderul tasting summertime soup!
