You can't get much more delicious and refreshing than Classic Gazpacho. This recipe is wonderful. The fresh garlic and jalapeno add a bit of a kick. But not too much! Set in the fridge for at least a couple hours to really let the flavors meld. Amazing!

Notes

  • Gazpacho can be served room temperature or chilled.  Serve in a large soup bowl or in individual chilled shot glasses.  Chilling the gazpacho for at least 2 hours helps the flavors to meld.  If you prefer to serve at room temperature, chill the soup, then let it sit out for another couple hours.
