Easy Gazpacho

Gazpacho or Gaspacho is a cold soup made of raw, blended vegetables. It originated in the southern regions of the Iberian peninsula and spread into other areas. During hot summer days, it is a cool and refreshing meal.  I remember the first time I made it with my sister one hot July day.  I love vegetables, and the soup was so tasty with the flavor of my garden favorites.  One nice thing about gazpacho is how easy it is to make and to modify.  Hate the taste of raw onion?
