Bone Broth Gazpacho with Garden Herb Pesto

Gazpacho, naturally, always reminds me of the summer.
The first time I had gazpacho, I was wandering around a local night market when I lived in San Diego. One of the restaurant owners was outside, doling out tiny cups filled with velvety smooth orange gazpacho. It was delicious, especially on a very humid summer night.
I didn’t even know I would like gazpacho until then. Cold tomato soup just never sounded appealing to me.
But it’s really not just cold tomato soup.
It’s fruity olive oil. Fresh, fragrant herbs. Garlic. Vinegar. Onions. Fresh cucumbers or red peppers. Possibly a bit of citrus. It tastes like eating an entire summer garden in a bowl.
And that’s just the bases. You could add anything you wanted to gazpacho, really. Some jalapeño for heat. A bit of corn or pine nuts for texture. Sliced avocado for added creaminess. The options are endless.
