Nothing says summer like a bowl of gazpacho soup. Refreshingly cold on hot summer days, this adaptation of the classic Spanish cold tomato soup deliciously combines the best of summer vegetables. Gazpacho is filled with antioxidants, vitamins, and fiber. But beware because gazpacho recipes vary. Some are made with just vegetables and seasonings while other add ingredients such as a ton of olive oil and bread, which can boost the fat and calorie content of an otherwise, low cal, low fat dish.
So here is my healthy, low carb, low fat version. It will cool you off and keep you looking slim and trim all summer long!
