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.
  4. For a thicker soup, blend in a small piece of soaked bread.
  5. Chill the gazpacho in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour until very cold.
  6. Serve in bowls or glasses, garnished with chopped veggies, herbs, or a drizzle of olive oil.

Notes

  • Add jalapeño or hot sauce for a spicier version.
  • Blend in watermelon or strawberries for a sweet twist.
  • Use sherry vinegar for a more traditional Spanish flavor.
  • Top with avocado or croutons for extra texture.
  • Store up to 3 days in the fridge. Stir before serving.
