My neighbor recommended Gazpacho Soup to me when she found out I as vegetarian. I have to be honest…..I did not know what Gazpacho was. So I simply asked her to provide me the recipe and when she did it was Love at first Read. I knew after reading the recipe that this was going to be tasty!!
This soup taste better the next 1 or 2 days later so make this in advance and let the flavors marinate. I prepared it on Sunday…my meal prep day so I could enjoy during the week.
This soup is meant to eat cold but I prefer mine at room temperature with avocado on top. Because nothing taste right without avocados.
