Thisย Traditional Gazpacho recipe makes the best of the tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers in my garden. ย I make severalย versions, but this is my all-time favorite.
Cold soup? Yes, cold soup, friends. This staple is served worldwide, with historical roots in Spainโsย Andalusia regionย and Portugal. While a quick internet search can find versions featuring watermelon, avocado and grapes, Iโm sticking to the traditional red version made with tomatoes here.
Gazpacho was originally made by grinding the ingredients with a mortar and pestle, resulting in a chunkier texture. If you like that style, you can make the soup by pulsing your blender until youโve reached the desired consistency. Iโm a smooth-cold-soup kind of girl, so I buzz on until all the chunks are gone.
This gazpacho recipe calls for a touch ofย sherry vinegar. The flavor really stands out when combined with all those fresh veggies, so I recommend getting a good one, then using the rest of the bottle for vinaigrette โ and more gazpacho.
