Rustic Gazpacho

Now that the Farmers markets are in full swing, great tomatoes are so easy to get. What better summer soup than Gazpacho - my absolute favorite cold soup. I like mine chunky not smooth. This is not only one of the healthiest recipes you can also make it in less than 15 minutes.

Recipe adapted from Food and Wine.
Bon Appetit!
