WW Recipe of the Day: Roasted Red Pepper Gazpacho
Gazpacho has become a summer favorite all over the United States and Europe.
When tomatoes are at their best and the temperature outside is scorching, it's great to have a filling, guilty-free meal that is stove-free too.
One of my all-time favorite healthy cold soups, this low calorie, low carb roasted red pepper gazpacho is brimming with good for you vegetables.
I often make a double batch of this to have on hand for as long as tomato season stretches.

Recipe Notes
If you like a spicy, full of fire gazpacho, then substitute hot diced green chiles for the mild ones. Alternatively, just add a pinch of cayenne or hot sauce to the final blending.
If made ahead, it's a good idea to taste before serving and re-season with salt and pepper and drop of oil and vinegar as needed. The soup absorbs the spices quickly.
Serving Suggestions
Toasted bread is a good side dish for this room temperature, or chilled gazpacho. Classically you'll see tiny croutons served in the soup.
It's easier for me to just toast or grill a slice of baguette, or country bread, and use it to dip in the soup.
Ways to Use Leftover Gazpacho Soup
Leftovers keep several days covered in the refrigerator. Sometimes if I have ½ cup or so left, I use it as a base for vinaigrettes, chicken or fish marinades.
Poured as is over grilled meats, leftover gazpacho is refreshing, light and delicious.
