Gazpacho (Chilled Vegetable Soup)

Gazpacho is one of my favorite summer meals, and it's no coincidence that it's also one of the easiest to make. It's simply a chilled, usually blended vegetable soup of Spanish origin.

This is one of our family favorites! Although it's pretty low in calories and fat (for fettuccine alfredo), it has plenty of flavor. This looks really good, too, so we make it sometimes when company comes. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do!Submitted by: MOPSMOM3

It's yummy, and I would suggest using the olive oil for the cooking. If you want the flax oil (very good for you healthy fat) I would suggest adding it after the cooking. I have heard that heating flax oil degrades the "good" fat into a not so good one. Thank you for the recipe! - 8/30/10
