Cucumber and Carrot Gazpacho

 

Cucumber and Carrot Gazpacho

Today’s recipe is from resident soup expert Serena, aka Seriously Soupy. Serena has not only given soup tours and taught soup classes, but has a catalog of over 100 original soups! Once month you can join Serena on her soupy journey here, at My Judy the Foodie, sharing her wisdom and helping demystify the world of soup.

I asked Serena to create a light, yet hearty, chilled soup celebrating the bounty of summer.

Here’s what Serena has to say:

Summer is synonymous with enjoying the outdoors while also trying to beat the heat. While I do love an ice cream as a way to stay cool, I also enjoy refreshing (and healthy) chilled soups during this time of year.

Soups offer the same health benefits as salads and smoothies but allow you to benefit from a different method to get your daily dose of veggies.

For this recipe, I enhanced the traditional gazpacho with carrots and cucumbers as the base (tomatoes are also in there)

for a refreshing, light, and wholesome way to beat the heat.

Enjoy!
