A well-loved summer soup, gazpacho uses some of the season’s most prized vegetables as its base, including fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, and green peppers. While traditionally served cold to beat the heat and humidity, this warm version amps up the comfort factor. You can of course still serve this cold, if you like. Any vegetables can be added to this gazpacho. Try sweet red bell peppers or fresh corn kernels. Top the soup with croutons, fresh herbs, sliced avocado, or a sprinkling of crumbled feta cheese. To round out this meal, couple it with a slice of crusty bread and a mesclun salad topped with walnuts.
