My husband and I are trying to eat a lot more vegetables and we were hoping to get the kids to eat them too. For me, I have found I have a lot more luck if I drink my veggies, that is why we start off every day with a green smoothie. But getting them in through out the rest of the day still proved to be a challenge. So we opted to try soups. One of our first soups is the summertime favorite Gazpacho. Here is an easy Gazpacho recipe. We served it in little aperitif glasses to introduce the kids to the flavor and texture. It was a fun way to try Gazpacho and it also makes it the perfect way to serve it during dinner parties or at a bridal or baby shower.
