The more refined and elegant version of Gazpacho, Salmorejo is a Spanish tomato soup, typically served cold with an assortment of toppings. The sherry vinegar adds a sharp twist to contrast with the creaminess from the bread. Serve with a scattering of Serrano ham and egg to make it into more of a meal.
