Gazpacho is a great chilled Spanish soup that is a blend of raw vegetables so I guess that since half my vegetables are roasted then this isn’t a true Gazpacho some may say but you be the judge, it is very tasty and the base/main ingredients are bread, olive oil, vinegar, garlic, tomato, cucumber so I feel this is a Gazpacho.
I started with a variety of peppers and tomatillos to grill for dinner but I wanted to save half for this soup on the next day, so I will do a different post with my awesome roasted veggies to show how one quick night of cooking can turn out such completely different dinners that are good, easy and so versatile.
then roll them in olive oil, salt and black pepper

3 roasted tomatillos sliced
1 large shallot sliced
4-5 cloves of garlic sliced
1/4 cup chopped cilontro

Pour tomato juice, olive oil, red wine vinegar and add your seasoning then puree the vegetables.
