Strawberry-Cucumber Gazpacho

by

Did you know that traditional Spanish gazpacho, the refreshing cold tomato soup, usually contains watermelon? In this creative, oil-free version, strawberries are used to give the soup a very unique, and extremely refreshing flavor. It takes only a few minutes to make, yet the intermingling of flavors (cue the cumin) is absolutely out of this world!
