Gazpacho

"The most popular version of Gazpacho is chilled, fresh tomato soup. But in Spain, many times the base is served hot, with meatballs or chicken or even grapes! Regardless of the temperature, all Spanish gaspachos do contain vegetables and garlic. Posted for ZWT."

  1. We do love soups around here, & gazpacho is one of our favorites! Thoroughly enjoyed yours, & I know it will taste even better come summer & we will have some wonderfully home-grown tomatoes & cucumbers! The only change I made was to use a bit of lemon pepper instead of the indicated pepper! Many thanks for sharing the recipe! {Made & reviewed in 1-2-3 Hits recipe tag]
     
  2. I just made this without the water and with green olives instead of black. It is delish! Thanks for the recipe.
     
  3. Man, this was one of the best gazpachos I've ever had!!! The green olives really added something to it, and the cracked black pepper gave it some unexpected slight heat. Amazing. I added a dollop of light sour cream and a bit of cilantro to mine and it didn't take away from the fresh flavor one bit. Thanks for posting! Made for ZWT8.
     
  4. I also liked this scaled down version - due to it being slightly more simple than my own recipe. And I replaced the olives with jalapeno's and the wine vinegar with a dry chardonnay wine. This recipe is a great new change to Gazpacho!
     
  5. What a great recipe. I love that this is a scaled down version of my usual. Wonderful combination of flavors. I made as stated but replaced the water with V8 juice and added a pink of cayenne pepper...
