Fresh Sweet Corn Gazpacho
It’s impossible for me not to love fresh sweet corn when I grew up picking out the freshest ears of corn at the local cornfield with my family. We would then husk them, cook them, and eat them with butter and salt. It was always a treat! But that childhood treat is even better with this Fresh Sweet Corn Gazpacho recipe!
Gazpacho is a Spanish cuisine that the French fully adopted, making almost all summer menus feature at least one. I was intrigued when I first heard of Fresh Sweet Corn Gazpacho; I love corn soup (and anything with fresh corn!), so I was sure I would enjoy this cold soup version.
This soup is perfect for summertime because it’s light and refreshing, but for people who love fresh sweet corn, this can be enjoyed all year round! My favorite way is to use fresh corn, but it’ll still be delicious with whatever corn you have available.
This recipe’s icing on the cake is that it’s dairy-free and gluten-free, so not only is it refreshing, but it’s also healthy and accessible for your friends with dietary restrictions. Just imagine how the flavors of fresh veggies blend together with the olive oil and chives. Fresh Sweet Corn Gazpacho is perfect for a picnic or as the starter to your next BBQ. Even if your guest isn’t gung-ho for gazpacho, this Fresh Sweet Corn Gazpacho will change their tune!
And hey, if it doesn’t, that just means more of this wonderful dish for you to enjoy yourself!
