Chipotle gazpacho soup

Oh I just love gazpacho soup, even when the weather is no longer hot. I love every version of it I’ve ever tried, but I think this one has catapaulted itself to the top of my list! This is the basis for a great vegetarian meal, tasty enough that the meat will never be missed. This soup will be best if you can make it ahead of time and let the flavors develop. If not, no worries…just throw in some extra cayenne and chipotle sauce. Even on a cool evening, this soup will warm your innards!
