Strawberries add a fresh, fruity twist to this classic chilled soup. If you wish, choose your favorite herb to sprinkle on as a garnish and to boost the flavor. We recommend chives, basil, or thyme leaves, but many fresh herbs will complement this Strawberry Gazpacho.

This is nice gazpacho, refreshing and drinkable version. It has the usual gazpacho flavor with strawberries giving it a tartness. Mine was made with a VitaMix and it was necessary to add the broth before blending. It was so much easier than chopping veggies for a chunky version.
