Easy Gazpacho
with a delicious difference

 Peeling tomatoes, chopping lots of veggies, getting the seasoning just right. Gazpacho, that cool, refreshing, low fat Spanish soup, can be such a potchke.   Not this recipe~& here's the secret: 

This easy gazpacho recipe tastes even better using canned tomatoes than fresh. Really. Plus there is a health benefit in using cooked tomatoes which have an even higher level of antioxidants than fresh!
