Tomato and Peach Gazpacho
Our family loves this recipe because it combines so many great tastes. We add peaches to the soup to add a bit of sweetness to satisfy the younger children at the table. This is a great recipe when you have so many tomatoes you don't know what to do with them but you can also make it in the winter for a change from hot soup. Brings you back to summer if you use tomatoes you put in jars or froze ahead.
