Strawberry Gazpacho

Print Recipe
Strawberries add a fresh, fruity twist to this classic chilled soup. If you wish, choose your favorite herb to sprinkle on as a garnish and to boost the flavor. We recommend chives, basil, or thyme leaves, but many fresh herbs will complement this Strawberry Gazpacho.
