As I mentioned before, I've been trying out various chilled soups lately. Here's another one that I particularly liked... I fell in love with mangoes during my stay in India, and it was actually there that I first tried mango soup - served cold as a cocktail hour appetizer at someone's house. I thought it was so unique and interesting at the time, but I sort of forgot about it afterward... until a couple weeks ago, when I saw this recipe for a mango gazpacho, so I had to try it!
It wasn't the same as what I had in India, but it was still delicious! Using yellow tomatoes instead of red ones gave the soup a beautiful colour, and the taste was a good balance between sweet (from the mango) and spicy (from the onion and garlic). Overall, another refreshing and healthy summer meal! (especially paired with a big hunk of my Vegan Rye-Oat Quick Bread!)
