Sweet Pea Gazpacho

Although a traditional Spanish gazpacho is made with tomatoes, this version made with peas will cool you down just the same on a steamy summer day.

Ingredients

1 cup water
1 16oz bag of frozen sweet peas
1 large onion, diced
1/4 cup coconut or rice milk
1 teaspoon pesto
salt and pepper, to taste
¼ cup green onions, diced
bacon bits, optional

Bring the cup of water to a boil in a soup pot. Add the peas and onion and let simmer for 5 minutes.

Pour the peas into a blender or food processor. Add milk, salt, pepper, and pesto. Stir until smooth. Chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour. Serve garnished with green onions and bacon.
