Cottage Gazpacho

This soup is great on a hot summer day or any time you want to enjoy a quick homemade soup. It is also a great soup to make on the Sunday of a weekend at the cottage as it uses grilled veggies that you could make the night before for dinner and save some for this recipe.

  • 2 ripe tomatoes – cut into segments
  • 1 cup of leftover grilled onions and peppers
  • 1/2 English cucumber – cut into segments
  • 2 cloves garlic – peeled
  • 6 basil leaves
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. Blend the tomatoes first. This will allow you to see how quickly they blend and will ensure that they are pulsed well. You want them to be thick but not chunky.
  2. Add remaining ingredients to blender/nutribullet and blend until smooth and combined.
  3. Pour into bowls and dress with toppings or let your guest top their own.
