Gazpacho Soup
Healthy, because
Even smarter
Thanks to the wholemeal toast bread, gazpacho on ice cream has a good binding effect, the croutons make a tasty crunch and some digestive fibre. The peppers provide immune strengthening vitamin C and vision strengthening vitamin A.
If the gazpacho is served directly on ice, it is all the more refreshing and therefore perfect for cooling off a little on hot summer days. Of course, you can also serve the soup without ice, if it has previously cooled well in the refrigerator.
