Summer isn’t summer without a cool bowl of gazpacho to tingle the taste buds. This sunny version of the classic Spanish appetizer uses meaty yellow slicing tomatoes to achieve its warm golden hue. This soup gets even more flavorful after some time in the fridge, making it a great make-ahead dish for entertaining. Serve with air-fried or baked chili-lime spiced tortilla chips, and garnish with a quick cucumber relish featuring cilantro, radishes, and (optional) jalapeño for extra crunch and pep.
