Cooling cucumber gazpacho

This no-cook soup makes a super refreshing summer starter, and a great way to pack a lot of vegetables into one dish!

Serves 2-3

 

Method 

Add all the ingredients to your blender and blend until smooth (about a minute).  Add a splash of water if you want it thinner.  Chill until very cold and serve with a drizzle of olive oil a grind of black papper and more basil to garnish and a few icecubes if you want it extra cold. 

Will keep in the fridge for two days.
