Gazpacho with Multi-Grain Croutons Recipe

Gazpacho with Multi-Grain Croutons

Gazpacho is a cold tomato based soup and this one is loaded with fresh garden vegetables. If you think it’s unusual to add canola oil to this popular summer soup, it’s really for eating well. By adding canola oil it helps to absorb the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, K and E. I like my family and guests to pick their desire of spice, so put out the bottle of sriracha hot sauce and kick it up a notch!
