Sweet Corn Gazpacho
Sweet Corn Gazpacho is a chilled soup blending fresh sweet corn kernels, yellow cherry tomatoes, bell pepper, and aromatic ingredients like garlic, shallot, and white beans for body. Spiced with cayenne pepper and ground ginger, it offers a smooth, slightly spicy, and refreshing flavor. Topped with radish sprouts, fresh corn kernels, and cilantro leaves plus a drizzle of quality olive oil, it makes a bright, cool starter or light meal.
