User Reviews:
Laura - It was the best gazpacho I've ever had, so much flavor. The
chunky vegetables make it seem more like a meal than a soup. I took
advantage of the abundance of heirloom tomatoes in season which take
all recipes to a higher level. I also sauteed the shrimp in key lime
garlic oil instead of spray which gave them more flavor as well. I
can't use cooking spray on my pans, anyway, as per the manufacturer.
Made a great summer meal! 08/13/10

Daisy - This is an excellent, refreshing summer soup. It's good
without the shrimp, but I like it better with. The sweetness of
the shrimp plays well off the acidity of the tomatoes and other
ingredients. I think dinner guests would appreciate this tasty
soup. 08/09/10

The Brown Family - We made the soup without the shrimp and it was
just as good on a hot summer day. We just served it with some fresh
bread from our local co-op and it was great. Easy to make and
delicious! 07/29/10
