Grilled Gazpacho

Credit: Photo: Brian Woodcock; Styling: Lindsey Lower

Grilling adds a smoky dimension to Spain's favorite summertime soup. The trick is to grill the veggies over a screaming-hot fire, just long enough to char the exterior while leaving the vegetables raw in the center. Don't worry about removing all the char from the tomatoes and peppers—it adds fantastic flavor.
