Easy Gapacho

Nope, nada!

I’m not going to lie…..I really didn't think that I’d ever need gazpacho in my life. Cold soup just seemed a weird to me……that is until my sister ordered it for lunch at a beautiful spot in Telluride, Colorado.

She’s like “Lauren, you’re the foodie; what’s up with you and gazpacho?”  Me: eye roll. She then asked, ok …. made me, take a little taste. I didn’t know what to expect….but after that first slurp….wow….I was obsessed! 

It was just so FRESH and bright tasting….that was my first thought, simply summer in a bowl.  Then, I quickly went to the texture. It was cool, smooth, and refreshing.  I was in love and determined to create the best version possible.   

Gazpacho comes from Seville, Spain. Traditionally, it is a mixture of raw vegetables, olive oil, vinegar, and bread. 

I stick to many of the the traditional main ingredients, but there is a lot of room switch things up. You can use whatever herbs you have on hand, add peppers for heat, or add a drizzle of cream (or sour cream) if you would like a creamier soup.

So save this easy, no-cook recipe and blend it up on a hot day! Sit back and enjoy all of the deliciousness that this summer has to offer!
