I’ve been loving all of the the summer fruits and veggies and just can’t get enough of them. This is a super easy, spicy gazpacho perfect for hot summer days. I whipped it up for a dinner party a few weeks ago “shooter style” and it was a big hit. My secret ingredient is “Spicy Hot V-8 juice”. It adds a lot of zing and provides a ton of extra veggies and vitamins.

Oh, that spicy V8 is a great idea!
It really gives it a nice kick!
So this week I am going meatless! I’m looking for any topping for a veggie I can find haha–this looks super awesome, thanks!
That’s great! I’ve been a vegetarian by whole life. It’s really not that hard. Check out some of my other recipes the past few months. Let me know how you do. Good luck!
That looks so fantastic! I haven’t made gazpacho at all yet this summer but it’s one of my favorites. Thanks for linking up!
I always love it once I make it!
Yum, sounds delicious! I love gazpacho and it’s one of our summer go-to meals. I use an Ina Garten recipe generally but this one with the spicy V8 sounds like an interesting variation.
It gives it a nice little zing! Hope you like it
Yes please! PERFECT soup for summer!

Sounds tasty. I love bloody marys so I’m sure this would be just as good. It’d be perfect to make in my vitamix.

I’ve never had gazpacho before, but it sounds very flavorful!
