This recipe is from my mother and it has always been a summer favorite. It keeps for a long time and is a great way to use the bounty from the garden. My girls LOVE it! You can also play around with how much of each vegetable that you like that you put in the soup. It's all a matter of personal taste. I like a little more cucumber in mine.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Gazpacho is a wonderfully fresh summer soup for those hot days. This version is a little unique with the celery. You don't really taste celery, it just adds a nice crunch (make sure to chop it small). Laura's gazpacho is full of fresh summer veggies with a nice zest. When serving, top with fresh basil and a little cheese for a refreshing summer meal.
