Cold gazpacho soup is the perfect treat on a hot summer day: it's ready in minutes, there's no need to stand over a hot stove, it's pleasantly refreshing, and it preserves all the beneficial properties of raw vegetables. This recipe uses only vegetables, including tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, fresh herbs, seedless white grapes, and red onions. Everything is easily blended, and the soup can be thinned with vegetable broth if needed. Garlic, cumin, wine vinegar, and olive oil add the necessary spicy notes and a slight tartness to the gazpacho.
