Mango Gazpacho
Mango Gazpacho is a chilled Spanish soup made using mangoes, cucumber, and a few other simple ingredients. It is a perfect soup to sip on hot summer days (vegan, gluten-free). Mango Gazpacho is a delicious fruity twist on the classic summer savory soup, gazpacho.
Gazpacho is a popular dish that originated in Spain. Served as a chilled dish, it is a soup that is made using raw vegetables, especially tomatoes as the base.
Mangoes add a little sweetness to the chilled soup and this soup is perfect to serve on hot summer days. This no-cook, vegan, and gluten-free soup comes together in under 15 minutes using simple ingredients.
