Author Notes
I know in this hot weather that gazpacho and cold soups seem more appealing, but I beg to differ. I have never enjoyed a cold soup— it’s weird to me. I like heat; and if it’s not salsa, then I want it temperature hot also. This soup does it all for me: hot, full of heat, flavorful, and not too filling. —fraîchement
