It's time for SRC again! As part of the Secret Recipe Club, each month, we're given another blogger, and we choose a recipe from their blog. This month, I got Jen's Journey. I have to say, I wasn't sure which recipe to choose - she's got a tomato basil pesto pasta, guacamole, and pasta salad. However, once I saw the recipe for Gazpacho, I knew my search was over! Gazpacho is a cold coup made of raw vegetables, usually with a tomato base. We tasted some authentic Gazpacho when we visited Andalusia last year. (I can't believe it was just last year - seems so long ago!) It's a very popular soup, especially during hot summers because of its refreshing coolness. Perfect for the hot weather we're having here! In fact, we finally broke down and turned on the AC. If you know me, you know it means it's HOT! Try this refreshing soup by itself or with some nice, crusty bread. :) If you want a thicker soup, you can also blend in some bread or breadcrumbs. We found the consistency of this soup with just the veggies perfect!

What's your favorite refreshing summer soup?
