Summery Gazpacho
Raw veg can be a bit blah if you're eating them on their own but blitz a few up together and hey presto - gazpacho! The thought of a cold soup can be a little off-putting but please give this delicious bowl of fresh veg a chance! It's really light, perfect for summer and so nutritious! It's also ridiculously quick and easy to make.

Preparation
Step 1
Roughly chop the tomatoes, cucumber (take the skin off first) and pepper and pop into your blender.
Step 2
Mince the garlic, ginger and coriander and add to the veg. Pour in the liquid ingredients and then pulse in the blender until quite smooth.
Step 3
Chill for at least an hour and then serve with small chunks of tomato, pepper and cucumber.
The best thing about gazpacho is that you can easily change a few ingredients to make it to your taste - use a green pepper instead of red, add more cucumber for a fresher soup, try different herbs like basil or mint, spice things up with some fresh chillies or even add bread for a thicker consistency. I've also found that the flavour improves even more when left in the fridge overnight.
