It has a pink-orange appearance like gazpacho, but salmorejo is dramatically thicker because it includes bread.

Ingredients

2 baguettes
4'5 lb ripe red tomatoes
1 cup of extra virgin olive oil
1 large garlic clove
1/4 cup sherry vinegar
3 hard-boiled eggs
2 serrano ham pieces for cooking slices
Salt

Directions

Wash the tomatoes and halve them.
Grate the tomatoes to peel them.
Submerge the bread in frozen water for 20 minutes
To the grated tomato, add the sherry vinegar, the extra virgin olive oil and the peeled garlic cloves.
Add the drained and crumbled bread to the tomatoes (make sure to drain it well, we DON'T want extra water on our salmorejo!)
Beat until the soup becomes fine and adjust the seasoning.
chop the serrano ham pieces for cooking and the hard-boiled eggs.
Serve Salmorejo Soup in individual bowls and decorate with the diced serrano ham and eggs.
