This bell pepper gazpacho can be considered a "cold" bell pepper soup, as the peppers are baked in the oven prior to blending. This prevents digestive issues related to the consumption of raw bell peppers. To make it even more digestible, I recommend peeling the skin after baking. I like to serve it as a refreshing starter before dinner or have it for lunch with a toast.
You can also serve this gazpacho as a hot soup (maybe with some coconut cream), use it as a sauce for your pasta or even as a veggie spread.
