Summer Gazpacho Although summer is almost over, I have finally done it! I have finally accomplished the recipe request my husband gave me back in like… oh, May? Sorry, Babe. But we are all set now with this Summer Gazpacho!

If you’ve never had a good cup of Gazpacho, the traditional Spanish soup that is served chilled then you are missing out. I know I’ve mentioned it before but my husband and I both studied abroad in Sevilla and during the summer that I was there, Gazpacho was served everywhere! It’s perfect when it’s too hot outside to cook and you just want something chilled, nutritious, and delicious. It just hits all the spots on a hot summer day. 

Let’s just say when I made this batch of Summer Gazpacho, my husband ate it all within less than 24 hours. He even had it for breakfast, which.. hey! I am not judging because I love a good breakfast soup!

The other great thing about Gazpacho? Talk about getting in all of your veggie servings in one day! The easiest way to accomplish all of your veggie goals! 

Summer Gazpacho

Okay, now one last thing: my Summer Gazpacho recipe is Whole30 compliant. You’re probably thinking, what would make a gazpacho not compliant? Well, actually a few things: First of all, a lot of traditional gazpachos actually have country bread blended into the soup (which, yum.. obviously). Secondly, a lot of gazpachos have added sugar to help cut the acidity of the tomatoes. I found that using balsamic vinegar adds some sweetness to the gazpacho and helps cut the acidity as well.
