my experience making gazpacho soup recipe

You could easily use this easy Gazpacho recipe as a side dish, or make a complete meal out of it. That’s what I did above, alongside some salmon. But, if you’re in a”fancy” mood, you could serve gazpacho as a first course at a more elaborate dinner! It would be very sophisticated, and would take you virtually no time at all to make! Best of all it tastes even better the next day, so be sure to make leftovers!

Tip: You can use the leftover 1/2 of your red bell pepper and cucumber for a pretty garnish on the top.

How To Store Your Easy Gazpacho Soup

With tomato season being here, I’ll be making big batches of this chilled tomato soup with fresh veggies. But how do you store your smooth gazpacho (or chunky gazpacho if that is your preference)?

It’s best to store it in an airtight container and then eat it within a couple of days. That’s if you have leftovers. My family loves it so much there usually isn’t a “next time” or “next day” because we eat it all that day.

Nothing beats fresh gazpacho. This is also great healthy lunch recipes. Again store it in an airtight container and keep it in the fridge.
