Healthy Gazpacho Soup Recipe

One summer, I was visiting my Aunt Sue Kaat in Wautoma, Wisconsin when she was preparing this healthy Gazpacho Soup recipe for a sick friend. My Aunt Sue is a sweet little lady who eats very healthy and looks amazing to prove it.   I had never had a Gazpacho Soup.  Previously, the “cold” soup idea had always repelled me. I grew up thinking that soup was meant to be served hot and any soup that wasn’t hot, was simply not soup… However this colorful, vibrant, beautiful creation intrigued me; and being the nosey, curious person that I am, I asked for a bite. I instantly fell in love! It was fresh, bursting with flavor, with a small hint of spicy heat to it.  My curiosity paid off. I have been trying all kinds of cold soups ever since.

This healthy Gazpacho Soup recipe has become a favored recipe that I use all spring and summer.

It takes only a few minutes to put together.  I often make it in the beginning of the week and bring it work for lunch.  It is perfect for work lunches because you don’t have to heat it. The fact that it is healthy is an added bonus.

Spicy Hot V8The key to this healthy Gazpacho soup recipe is the Spicy V8.  Make sure this is the brand and flavor you use for this soup recipe.  It will not be the same with a knock off brand.  I know from experience.  I was at a store that did not carry V8 and in my laziness, I bought a knock off brand.  It wasn’t nearly as good.  Lesson learned. You have been warned! Enjoy!

    Oh I love Gazpacho! I used to be you were, thinking only hot things were worthy of being called soups until I tasted it! So fresh and delicious! I have never made it with v8 though, I’ll have to give that a try!

    I absolutely adore gazpacho. I made a free version this week with all green vegetables and herbs. Are you familiar with that version. It’s fabulous. Your version sounds great. I will be trying this next.

    I’m also leery of cold soups. It just seems odd to me. I will say this recipe using the V8 is a great way to short cut the process. It’s also full of flavor! Your photos are tempting me to try your aunt’s recipe and maybe, I too will be a cold soup convert.

    I’m with you….I’m not a cold soup girl either but I’ll be honest….I’ve never tried cold soup! HA! My mind automatically goes to hot! But – I’ll have to give this one a shot! Sounds and looks delish!

    I’ve never gone crazy for cold soups, but there are a few that I make exception for — gazpacho is definitely one of them! This looks like just the thing for a hot summer night!
