Easy Gazpacho

IMG_8748

It’s no secret around here that I love to eat soup, no matter the weather.

But it’s also no secret that it is getting HOT where I live.

I thought since I moved north from Arkansas to North Carolina that I would leave the humidity behind and be enjoying 75-degree summers. I was mistaken.

It is heck-a humid here and very toasty. Nineties is kind of the norm right now.

So, this makes a bowl of hot soup sound a little less appealing. But what if that soup was chilled and refreshing?

Now, we’re talking.

This Easy Gazpacho is just that: absolutely simple to throw together, bright and cool, and packed with vegetables.

The soup really makes the best of summer veggies like tomatoes, red onion and cucumber. Then, just add in some vinegar, olive oil and seasonings, blend, and you’ve got the perfect summer soup.

Gazpacho is a wonderful appetizer, side dish or light meal.

When you’re experiencing the heat of the summer along with its bounty of garden vegetables, make the best of both worlds with a bowl of Easy Gazpacho.
