Beetroot Gazpacho
A soup to cool down. As you might already know from our recipe for cold cucumber soup, we are big fans of summer soups. The reason is quite obvious – those soups are easily prepared, can be verified endlessly, they don’t really feel like food but more like a lemonade but still make you full. The only disadvantage: Always remember that they need a few hours to cool in the fridge. Which is also no problem if you prepare your summer soup the evening before and let it cool overnight in the fridge. It can stay in there several days, so you’ll also have something to eat for the day after tomorrow… and the day after.
