"Serve icy cold. Feel free to add your own favorite vegetables or other additions. I've added roasted red peppers and shrimp to make a yummy version. You can also used canned diced tomatoes (either plain, or with onions or peppers or both) with some of the juice instead of the fresh tomatoes. I sometimes double the amount of vinegar and lemon juice to make it more zippy. Keeps for at least a week in the refrigerator."

This was my first time making gazpacho and I was quiet impressed! I had to make some adjustments though due to my choice of taste, etc. I didn't add the radishes (I don't like them), didn't add the avocados (they were all to hard at the store), and I used sweet onion instead of red (husband got the wrong one at the store lol).

Great Recipe! Thanks for sharing! Didn't have any radishes to add... but it tasted great without them! Very similar to the Gazpacho I used to eat in Spain all the time. Thanks again!!

Thank you Michelle for a fantastic recipe! I have always enjoyed gazpacho that has tomato juice and tomatoes together. I especially like your olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, and worcestershire sauce ingredients that give it that extra kick! Unfortunately, I did not have any radishes on hand, but plan on adding those the next time I makes this. Thanks, this is a keeper!

Best gazpacho I've ever tasted, by far. It must have been part vinegar, maybe part radish, but the optional avocado really put it over the top! We had leftover, so I was concerned that the avocado was going to go brown, but it was just fine the next day! It made the soup creamy, mmmm. We used 3 tomatoes, 2 garlic cloves and 1 tablespoon extra of both vinegar and lemon juice. We omitted the olive oil altogether. If you like gazpacho, you will LOVE this! Thanks Michelle.
