Summer Gazpacho 09/03/2010
 
Gazpacho is a cold tomato-based soup that originated in Spain. With this hot weather we're having, this chilled soup is sure to cool you down! Try to use mostly fresh ingredients for the best possible taste. 

Servings: 6

Here's what you need:

  • 3 cups tomato juice
  • 1/3 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 large tomatoes, quartered
  • 1 cucumber, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 1 small onion, peeled and quartered
  • 1 sweet green bell pepper, seeded and quartered
  • Dash of hot sauce
  • Fresh ground salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tomatoes & 2 cucumbers chopped for garnish


  1. Place all of the ingredients, except tomato and cucumber garnish, in a high speed blender. Turn on high speed for 40 seconds.
  2. Chill the soup for 30-60 minutes.
  3. Place chopped cucumber and tomato in each serving dish and fill with soup. Serve immediately.

Add watermelon and mango in place of the onion, pepper and hot sauce for a yummy alternative!
