The perfect soup for a hot summer day. While soup on a hot day might seem like a contradiction, this cold soup was made specifically for the hot summer days in southern Spain where the temperatures can get up to over 100 degrees Fahrenheit (40 celsius). A blend of tomatoes along with other fresh vegetables, this healthy soup will not only cool you down, it will fill you up as well. If your kids like warm tomato soup with grilled cheese, try this cold tomato soup with a Spanish Tomato and Cheese Sandwich (Bocadillo) for a Spanish twist.
The best way to get the kids involved with this recipe is by letting them touch and play with all the vegetables. Also letting them put everything into the blender and then watching it go from vegetables to soup.
