If you find that your tomatoes are looking a little soft before you’ve had a chance to slice them up and use them in your sandwich consider blending them and making a gazpacho.

For those of us who love soup, gazpacho this time of year makes the most sense.

I have also used bruised produce to make broth and sauces. Works really well. You can also freeze it to cook with later.
