This Roasted Vegetable Gazpacho recipe is sponsored by Pacific Foods, thank you for supporting the brands who make CIK recipes EPIC.

We’ve been gazpacho fans for a while now, there’s just something so refreshing about a cold soup on a hot summer day. We decided to kick up the flavor a bit though by roasting the vegetables first in this Roasted Vegetable Gazpacho. Best decision ever.

Roasting the vegetables first brings a richness to the gazpacho that using raw vegetables does not. The natural sugars from the vegetables start to release and caramelize a bit making one delicious soup. While there is no meat in this gazpacho we love using Pacific Foods Organic Chicken Bone Broth for a bit of nourishing protein and collagen. The end result is a gazpacho that is still cool and refreshing but has the flavor of a hearty soup, it’s a win-win.

Pacific Foods is our go-to for healthy shelf-stable broth. We keep a variety of their broth on hand at all times for quick soups and stews and even just sipping. We’re huge fans of making our own broth but our freezer space is limited in our “micro” house so keeping lots of frozen broth on hand just isn’t an option, we have plenty of cabinet space though so this is a perfect solution and their products are top of the line and what we use in all of our recipes, sponsored or not.

The Organic Chicken Bone Broth that we used in this recipe is made with organic chicken bones, onions, carrots, celery, sea salt, cider vinegar, and rosemary. That’s such a clean combo and lends itself to any recipe calling for chicken broth.

One note, if you do want to add a protein to this gazpacho, we love crisping some prosciutto in a skillet and crumbling it over the top. Goat cheese crumbles are also equally delicious and the two work really well together too.

For the other toppings, we went with some chopped cucumber, jalapeño, and cilantro with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt and fresh cracked pepper. YUM.

This can be served as a full meal or even as a side, totally up to you!
