This popular soup from the Andalusian area of Spain, mostly known now for being served cold, was originally blended stale bread, olive oil and garlic, with some liquid like water or vinegar that was pounded together in a mortar. Different vegetables and almonds that were available were also added.<\/p>\n

This soup evolved into different varieties, the most popular around the world is a tomato based variety, served cold. When Christopher Columbus brought back tomatoes, cucumbers and different peppers from his voyages, the soup evolved to its present state.<\/p>
