SOUPA VERDE FRIO - PORTUGUESE AND SPANISH COLD GREEN SOUP
A "Frosty" Gaspacho style soup, only without any red ingredients such as tomatoes.
Think lettuce, spinach, cucumbers, green onions, celery and such when putting this one together. Use chicken broth as a base instead of tomato. Want all vegetarian? Use a cold vegetable broth as the base or use pureed tomatillos.
