Gazpacho {Easy and gluten free version}

Gazpacho is a chilled vegetable soup combining ripe tomatoes, red bell peppers, cucumber, onion, and garlic blended to a preferred smooth or chunky texture. Seasoned with salt, olive oil, and sherry vinegar, it offers a refreshing balance of acidity and richness. The soup is served cold, often garnished with fresh vegetables, herbs, hard-boiled egg, or seafood for added layers of flavor and texture.

Instructions

  1. Peel the tomatoes. An easy way to do this is to bring water to boil, make a cross or x cut on each tomato, place them in the boiling water for a couple of minutes until they start to peel. Remove the tomatoes from the hot water, run them under cold water, and remove the skin.
  2. Place the tomatoes, bell peppers, cucumber, onion, garlic, and salt in a blender or food processor. Pulse and blend until you obtain the consistency you want for the gazpacho, it can be either very smooth or more on the chunky side.
  3. Pour the gazpacho mix into a large bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at a few hours before serving.
  4. Stir in the sherry vinegar and olive oil right before serving, and serve with your choice of garnishes.
