Vegan Gazpacho

Gazpacho has always been a summer staple for me, especially on those sweltering afternoons when turning on the stove feels like a crime.
I remember making this with my grandma, who would show me how to blend the veggies until they sang together.
It feels so good to enjoy a bowl of this chilled soup, knowing it's full of healthy, whole foods.
Plus, it's a great way to use up all those ripe tomatoes from the garden!

Ingredients & Substitutions
I like to use heirloom tomatoes when they're in season because they add a beautiful color and flavor. If you can't find fresh tomatoes, canned tomatoes can work in a pinch, just make sure they're packed in water or their own juices. I sometimes swap in lime juice instead of vinegar for a zesty twist!
Tips & Notes
- •I keep mine in a glass jar in the fridge, and it stays fresh for up to a week.
- •If you prefer a smoother texture, just blend all the ingredients together. It's still delicious!
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes, I’ll add a splash of hot sauce for a kick, or toss in some diced avocado right before serving.
- •You could also add some corn or black beans for extra protein and texture!
Storage & Freezing
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. I love to enjoy it as a quick lunch or snack for several days!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this ahead of time?
Absolutely! Gazpacho actually gets better as it sits, so making it a day in advance lets all those flavors meld beautifully.
