A freshly picked tomato, warmed by the sun.... for me it is the essence of summer. Throw in peppers, cucumber and fragrant herbs and there is no excuse not to knock up a glorious gazpacho. For inspiration look no further than the beautiful Bella at Simpkin and Roses, who hits the mark this effortless chilled summer soup.
