    Tomato Gazpacho Soup

    This gazpacho is fresh and bursting with flavor, with a small hint of spicy heat to it.

    It has become a favored recipe that I use all spring and summer.

    What is Gazpacho Soup Made of?

    Tomato gazpacho is made with:

    • tomatoes- preferably vine ripened
    • beef broth-low sodium if you are watching your salt intake
    • lemon juice-use freshly squeezed
    • garlic-fresh not dried
    • cucumbers
    • bell Pepper
    • onion-yellow or white
    • olive oil
    • red wine vinegar
    • hot sauce- I like Texas Pete

    This recipe came from my Aunt Sue Kaat!

    My Aunt Sue is a sweet little lady who eats very healthy and looks amazing to prove it.

    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.

    My Aunt Sue adds a few other ingredients to make it more flavorful and filling.

    You can eat it by itself or it is great to dunk in a slice of leftover stale bread.

    The bread will soak up those vegetable flavors and taste delicious in your mouth.

    Spicy V8 is a key ingredient

    Spicy Hot V8

    My Aunt Sue's signature ingredient to this Gazpacho soup recipe is addiding in Spicy V8. 

    The Spicy V8 brings in loads of flavor.

    I really don't think it makes it spicy, but if you don't like spicy foods, you can substitute regular V8.

    Make sure to use the V8 brand. 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!

    How long does tomato gazpacho last in the refrigerator?

    Store your tomato gazpacho in an air tight container. It will keep 4-5 days.
