Gazpacho

“Very good Gazpacho recipe, I processed most of the veggies in this recipe in a food processor, in stages, so as not to make the consistency too mushy. I also upped the amount of cumin to a generous teaspoon, and added a minced jalapeno pepper, zesty and delicious!”

“Oh my goodness – this is fabulous! I also processed most of the veggies (and kept out a small handful of each first – to add later). I didn’t have red wine vinegar so I subbed 4 tablespoons of red wine vinagrette salad dressing and left out the olive oil. I used dried basil and dried tarragon but fresh parsley. I added a scant teaspoon of salt, 1/4 t of pepper and 1/8 t cayenne plus a few dashes of tabasco and it was seasoned beautifully. And best of all – hang on to your hats – I used CANNED tomatoes!! I know, I know….purist gazpacho chefs will hate me….but it was excellent! I used one 16 ounce can of peeled, diced tomatoes with juice. Delicious!”

“This is a wonderfully delightful gazpacho recipe. I only added my own personal preferences to complete this dish. First was my all-time favorite herb which is cilantro and secondly I garnished with some diced avocado. Superb! Delicioso!”

“This is GREAT! My DH and I both love this soup. We have been taking a small serving as part of our lunch each day this week (this is a great option for lunch especially as the warmer months approach-no warming required!) We like it so much that we are considering eliminating the rest of the lunch and increasing the serving of this WONDERFUL soup.Thank you for posting this great recipe!”

“This is a wonderful blend of flavors and textures.I love it!I used V-8, and also added some chopped celery and radishes because I like extra crunch.I also used canned t omatoes, because the ones in the store are yukky and wayyyyy to costly.Thanks!”

“I can’t add a whole lot to what others have said but I ditto that this is the best Gazpacho I have ever had.I also used the food processor for most ingredients but finely chopped a little of each vegetable just for the garnish.This is a permanent addition to my Paella Dinner Menu.”

“The best summer soup ever is correct, this is the best gazpacho I’ve ever had. My problem I’ve had with gazpacho in the past is having it taste too acidic, but not with this recipe. I think the honey may have had something to do with that? Thanks for posting this recipe, it’s going in my keeper file!”

“I have made several versions of Gazpacho, and this one is my favorite!I made it exactly like the recipe and I didn’t use honey.It was perfect!I find it best to let it chill for about 4 hours prior to eating it, so that it can absorb all the flavors.If you decide to try a Gazpacho recipe, try this one first because all of the others pale in comparrison.Perfect exactly they way it is written!”

“I gave this recipe 3 stars. This was the first time I ever had a Gazpacho. I made this recipe in my Culinary class. When I made this recipe I cut the recipe in half. We were out of tomato juice so my chef had me use aequal mix of tomato sauce and water. Also we were out of green pepper so that was omitted. I left out the honey as I didn’t think that would go good in a cold soup. We used dried basil and tarragon. Do to the fact I don’t like cayenne I left it out. The only big problem I had with this recipe was my soup jellied on me a bit. My chef suggested next time we use 90/10 oil (vegetable and olive oil blend). Overall this was ok. I thought the flavor was good but I wasn’t crazy over it. My chef said it should have been pureed not left chunky. I got to try a recipe put in the blender and I like it best chunky. I may try this again. Thanks for posting! Christine (internetnut)”

“I loved it!!This is definitely a keeper!!!The flavors were fabulous once they had time to blend & it’s a great way to get all your veggies in fell swoop.Thanks for posting it!!”

“Restaurant quality.One of the best I have ever had.”

“So easy and sooooooooo good!I was missing honey and some of the spices and my guests STILL raved about it.My boyfriend has asked that I make it again, and often.A perfect no-cook recipe!”

“I’ve never had this before and it is delicious.Since the honey was optional, I left it out.Very good recipe, especially for the hot summer weather.Thanks for sharing!”
