Рецепт Easy Gazpacho
This month, for Allrecipes, my assignment was to create a unique gluten-free recipe using Classico® Tomato & Basil pasta sauce. One of the recipes I came up with was for this Easy Gazpacho! A gazpacho is a soup made from raw vegetables and served cold. It usually has a tomato base (the pasta sauce in this instance!) and is a great option for the hot days of summer because it is so refreshing! It is also VERY figure friendly! And did I mention, it tastes great too??
This recipe is so easy because it is basically a dump and go recipe. The hardest part is chopping all the vegetables. It also requires no cooking. It makes a great first course or a wonderful light lunch. You will never guess that the soup starts with a jar of "pasta" sauce either!
It's just the thing to enjoy during the upcoming "dog days of summer"! Bring them on!

My family LOVED this soup! You would never in a million years believe it started with a jar of pasta sauce! I do have to confess, we did kick ours up with quite a bit of hot sauce! YUM!
If you find it gets a little to thick for you after refrigeration, just add enough water to make it the consistency you desire.
How about you? Are you a fan of gazpacho? Would you be willing to give this easy version a try?
