Summer soups…
One of the Hill team’s favorite summery soup is nutritious Spanish gazpacho. This one from Harry’s Continental Kitchens on Longboat Key, Florida is one of the best, perhaps because he adds fresh herbs and plenty of fresh cooked baby shrimp to his gazpacho. Be sure to try it when you make it at home.
Lynn and Harry’s son Hal, a manager at Harry’s, who recently traveled to Spain’s wine country and to the Mexican mountains, was the inspiration for this innovative recipe.
