Deliciously Simple Gazpacho Soup
This is the easiest chilled summer soup that you’ll ever find and takes less than 10 minutes to make. If you pre-chill all the ingredients, you can eat it immediately – it’s like having a health-boosting smoothie for a starter and is a great take-out lunch if you have a fridge at work to keep it cool. It is packed with Vitamin C, fibre and a generous dose of other vitamins and minerals from Vitamin K to copper.
