Who says you don’t eat soup in the summertime ? Tell them they are wrong! ha!
 
You guys, I wanted to pop in today and show you how to make the ultimate gazpacho!

 

What Is Tomato Gazpacho ?

 
  • Technically a vegetable smoothie you guys, a raw, cold vegan soup that originated in the Andalusia region of Southern Spain as peasant food, made out of blended veggies, and herbs.
  • The classic version also calls for a couple of slices of day old bread, i wanted to make a lighter summery version and have the option to serve it with a side of bruschetta instead.

Today’s version is simply my favorite cucumber tomato salad in soup form. It’s absolute perfection on a scorching hot summer day. It’s:
 
Easy to Make
Simple + Refreshing
GF, Healthy & Nutritious
Delicious
Simply the Best.
 

About the heirloom tomatoes!

  • Choose the ripest, juiciest most fragrant heirloom tomatoes you can get your hands on. There’s no better tomato for this soup than the exquisite heirloom! No need to peel them as they will all end up in the blender so don’t make extra work for yourself.
  • The color of the tomatoes will ultimately determine the color of the gazpacho, so get creative if you like, make a green version, yellow, orange or dark red.
  • Please don’t use canned tomatoes here, no matter what you’ve heard because that would be just wrong and it will taste like restaurant salsa. Not OK!
