Easy Gazpacho Recipes to Keep You Cool All Summer

Stay cool this summer with these flavorful, no-cook soups. Summer fruits and vegetables are thirst-quenching on their own, but whirring them into gazpacho is a luxurious way to cool down at dinner. Of course, gazpacho also makes a light and refreshing lunch or appetizer. Serve with tomato toast or a simple salad to round out the meal. We've even been known to eat gazpacho at breakfast topped with bacon and hard-boiled egg slices. No matter the meal at which you eat it, no-cook gazpacho is a can't-be-beat summer dish.

High-quality olive oil will make a big difference here. You can find Spanish extra-virgin olive oil at reasonable prices at Trader Joe's, but any flavorful variety you have on hand will work.

Fresh bread gives gazpacho body, making it a substantial summer entrée soup. Use bread from the bakery section for the best results (bread from the supermarket aisle can be overly soft and sweet).

Grilled Gazpacho

Grilling adds a smoky dimension to Spain's favorite summertime soup. The trick is to grill the veggies over a screaming-hot fire, just long enough to char the exterior while leaving the vegetables raw in the center.

Green tomato adds nice tang to the mix. White wine vinegar works in place of sherry. Chilled bowls will keep the soup extra refreshing.

Instead of the traditional tomato foundation, this gazpacho uses cucumber and green grapes for bright, fresh flavor. Lobster is a special touch, ideal to kick off a dinner party. You also could omit the lobster or sub shrimp.

Green Gazpacho with Corn and Radish Salad

View Recipe: Green Gazpacho with Corn and Radish Salad

Green (unripe) tomatoes have more vitamin C and calcium than the more popular ripe red ones, and they are rich in B vitamins, vitamin A and vitamin K. They make a deliciously tart, tangy addition to a chilled gazpacho. Red tomatoes are actually more antioxidant-rich when cooked, giving you better access to lycopene.
