You don't have to be strict when making gazpacho. A few extra tomatoes or peppers make little difference in the overall soup. Ladle this soup into colorful bowls and garnish with fresh baked croutons for a festive presentation. Chilled fruit soups are delicious as well as a great way to use up an abundance of overripe fruit. They are popular in eastern European and Scandinavian cuisine.

Chilled soups benefit from an overnight chill. Chilling affects both the consistency and flavor of a soup. A chilled soup should never be too thin. It should be almost too thick to pour. Taste repeatedly as the soup cools.
