Instructions
- Wash the tomatoes and give them a rough chop. Add half of them to a food processor, along with the roasted red pepper, and process until very smooth. Add in the tomato juice and pulse to combine.
- Add the rest of the tomatoes and pulse till they are incorporated but not quite as smooth, so you will have a little bit of texture.
- Season the soup with the vinegar, olive oil, lemon, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes and remove it to a bowl. Cover and refrigerate for several hours, or until ready to serve.
- When you are ready to serve, give the soup a stir and taste it to adjust the seasonings. It may need more salt, or more lemon, for instance. Then spoon into small bowls or glasses and top with the finely minced onion, peppers, and cucumbers.
- Garnish as you like, with halved cherry tomatoes, small basil or cilantro leaves, and edible flowers, if you have them. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Make the base of your gazpacho a day or two ahead of time if you like, then garnish with the fresh chopped veggies before serving. Always serve your gazpacho ice cold.
