The king of all awesome summer soups, the Gazpacho soup is originally of Spanish ancestry. While the original version of this cold soup is tomato based, many new and modern versions have emerged that are made with tropical fruits like avocados and melons.
This cold soup made of refreshing fruits is perfect to cool down on a hot summer day. It contains watermelon, blueberries, honeydew, ginger, nutmeg and other flavors that make this soup absolutely delectable. You can experiment with other fruits that you may like to add including strawberries, raspberries, oranges and grapes amongst other fruits. I have found that any citrus fruit makes for a great addition to the flavor of this soup.
This is certainly one of the more substantial as well as awesome summer soups. Green beans and fresh cream are its primary ingredients and when combined with a loaf of your favorite bread, it makes a perfect meal during hot summers.
