Gazpacho

a cold soup alternative

I think that gazpacho is quite the refreshing soup option – especially in the summer. It goes well with a simple sandwich as well as something a little fancier and off the grill. Not only that, but it is actually a pretty healthy soup for you as well – gazpacho is made up of all kinds of different fresh veggies.

For a simple sandwich idea try Smoked Chicken Salad sandwich. For that something fancy off the grill you will love easy Grilled Lamb Chops.

cooking tips

• Refrigerating the ingredients overnight will help to better lock in the flavor (but I have made it just before serving and it is still quite tasty).
• Don't worry about chopping your veggies into perfect cubes, we are only doing so to make it easier to blend them together.
