Fresh. Delicately spicy. Ever so easy. A chilled gazpacho is the perfect foil for a hot summer day.

School may be starting in the next couple of weeks here in Alabama, but summer is far from finished! When you need a cool, refreshing lunch or a light supper, blend up this simple soup. Paired with an omelette, quiche, or garlic cheese biscuits, you could serve this at any meal, even breakfast!

You can use any fresh vegetables you have on hand, although the tomatoes are a must to make it a true gazpacho! I used a few items from my refrigerator to supplement the fresh produce gathered from my parents’ garden. This is a good recipe to use up random vegetables that are in too short supply to be their own side dish. It’s also meatless, which makes it very frugal!

Here is what I whipped up the other day, but feel free to customize it however you like! To see what produce is in season in your area, check out this handy guide!

    This is a great idea for breakfast! Thank you for sharing at Green Thumb Thursday and I hope you’ll come back – share more brilliance. I wonder how many tomatoes I can find this morning…
