Healthy, because
Tomatoes and peppers provide vitamin C for strong defences; vitamin A from the peppers also strengthens vision and makes the skin glow. Garlic adds a pleasant spice to gazpacho with croutons and can combat unwanted bacteria with the essential oil allicin.
Even smarter
If tomatoes are not in season or the gazpacho should be prepared a little faster, you can also use peeled tomatoes from a can.
