Gazpacho is a cool, refreshing Spanish soup made with raw vegetables like tomatoes, cucumber, and bell pepper blended into a smooth, tangy mixture. It’s light, hydrating, and perfect for hot days—ready in minutes with no cooking required.

Ingredients

  • 6 ripe tomatoes, roughly chopped
  • 1 cucumber, peeled and chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1/2 red onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 to 1/2 cup cold water (as needed for consistency)
  • Optional: 1 slice bread, soaked (for thicker texture)
  • Optional: lemon juice, fresh herbs for garnish

Instructions

  1. Add tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, red onion, and garlic to a blender or food processor.
  2. Pour in olive oil and red wine vinegar, then blend until smooth.
  3. Season with salt and pepper, and adjust consistency with cold water if needed.
