The gazpachuelo is the most typical hot soup of all those that are made in Malaga and has thousand versions. This Malaga gazpachuelo that I bring you today is my favorite version: potatoes, white fish, prawns and my I like also put clams and leave them clean, without the shell to enjoy all the flavor without having to walk with the shells. Who only make it with potatoes and mayonnaise, but that is another gazpachuelo (also of Málaga), the poor brother of this soup of fishermen held in Malaga and always carrying white fish and potatoes. In addition to those two ingredients, each one adds what you like the most.

Its origin is in the fishermen that made a mayonnaise-based garlic and a broth (similar to Aioli). It is usually accompanied of cooked white eggs and there who also accompanies it with slices of fried bread and chunks of ham.

It is an easy soup whose only difficulty lies in that the mayonnaise being mixed with hot broth. Although it takes hot, owes its name to that originally contained the four basic ingredients of gazpacho: bread, garlic, oil and water, although today in day it dispenses with garlic almost always.

It is a soup that tend to like everyone, creamy and different from everything you've tried before, so I hope you enjoy it and bring forth so on your table a piece of Málaga.
