This soup was inspired by a total favorite of mine… Gazpacho! Except this one is a little different because I actually served it warm thanks to my Vitamix (if I had made it in a blender that doesn’t have a heat setting I would have served it cold!!). The beauty of this soup is that you can add virtually anything to it. I kept it simple with summer squash, tomatoes, and some apple, but you could also add cucumber, tomatoes, garlic, ginger or even an onion.
You can make this soup into a meal by adding extra avocado (as I did) for extra healthy fat and calories, or shrimp or shredded chicken for extra protein. I also added plenty of fresh and tasty herbs and spices to this dish which made it even better!
Enjoy this light and tasty summer tomato and squash soup!
