Easy to make, fun to serve, these shot glasses filled with spicy Gazpacho Tomato Soup are a perfect Summer Appetizer.
As you can see, the sun is mercifully setting on my back deck tapas dinner party.
I’ll conclude this series with the last offering of these Spicy Gazpacho Shooters. I’ve never made gazpacho or for that matter never ordered it in a restaurant. I just can’t wrap my arms around cold soups, I like them hot, steamy and wafting with wonderful spices and aromas.
With all that said, I thought these little cold soup shooters would make a fresh and summery addition to the menu. And when I carried them out on my tomato red platter in my cute little crackly-glass shot glasses, I felt so clever and smug and could have cared less what the soup tasted like.
I Googled Gazpacho and the returns were all similar variations that included fresh vegetables, and always cucumber, tomato and bell peppers. I knew I wanted to kick mine up a bit and added jalapeno and a few shakes of Tabasco.
