💭 Eileen's Tips for Success
- I need to mention, traditional Gazpacho calls for bread as an addition. I experimented with bread and found leaving it out was best. This Gazpacho Soup is a bit thicker because peeling tomatoes or putting the veggies through a sieve is not required so the soup has texture. Besides making this gluten-free, the fresh flavors of the veggies were perfect. It also is keeping this a low-carb meal and its a perfect for those doing Keto!

A huge question and it is more personal. I love soup and I happen to prefer a soup with more texture when eating this one, so I don't peel and no one has complained. I don't like extra work when cooking and the cold vegetable soup is delicious with unpeeled tomatoes.
Please don't freeze. It is a cold soup is made of fresh veggies, freezing the soup will lose the texture of the fresh veggies. This soup will keep well covered in the fridge for about 3-4 days.
