Soup-er cool!

The heatwave continues and with it the need for quick and easy, healthy recipes.

My family has been enjoying gazpacho, a cold Spanish soup made from vegetables. Containing tomatoes, onions, garlic and peppers, this soup is chock full of nutrients as well as being really cooling on a hot day. It can be made in advance and kept in the fridge until you want to serve it.
