Gazpacho is traditionally a Spanish chilled soup. It is wide served throughout Spain and Portugal. I hope you enjoy my version of this traditional recipe. It includes Roasted Red Peppers and makes this Gazpacho recipe the perfect complement to a special outdoor dinner party. Gazpacho is one of my all-time favorite chilled soups. The great thing about gazpacho is that it is very forgiving, meaning you can add whatever you like and it still tastes great.
My latest creation of Gazpacho is made using roasted red peppers, fire roasted tomatoes and fresh picked cucumbers. The roasted red peppers add a deeper depth of flavor and give this traditional soup a new twist. I also used lots of fresh herbs to enhance the flavor. Here's hoping you enjoy it.
Bon Appetit,
