Despensa La Nuestra Salmorejo - Bread & Tomato Soup (14 oz/400 gr)

Description

This authentic Salmorejo soup made by Despensa la Nuestra is made in small batches that taste as close to homemade as you'll ever find. Salmorejo is a cold tomato and bread soup from Cordoba. While similar to gazpacho in color and style, it is far thicker with a milder taste. Salmorejo is made from tomatoes, dried country-style bread, extra virgin olive oil, garlic and vinegar. The tomatoes are skinned and pureed with the other ingredients to create a dish that is almost more like a dip than a soup. Because of its sauce-like consistency, Salmorejo is usually eaten by dipping bread into it. It can be also be eaten with a spoon as a soup with a traditional garnish of diced Serrano ham and hard-boiled eggs. Now you can try this authentic Spanish dish in your own home. It is a delicious alternative to the more commonly found gazpacho. It is typically milder than gazpacho as it is made with less tomatoes and has less acidity. This salmorejo is made by Despensa la Nuestra, a very small company in Cordoba. When the local sugar beet factory closed, a group of women founded Despensa la Nuestra to create both jobs and authentic, easy to prepare Spanish food.
