How to Make this Easy Gazpacho Soup Recipe

I’ve tried a couple different gazpacho recipes, but this particular one is my VERY favorite.   Warning: this recipe has some spicy zip to it!

INGREDIENTS:

Gazpacho is best when fresh ingredients are used. Summer tomatoes make the best gazpacho recipe!

• 5 Large tomatoes, quartered

• 1/2 cucumber peeled, and seeded

• 1/2 red bell pepper

• 2 cloves of garlic

• 1tbs. coarse salt

• 1tsp. cayenne pepper

• 1/2 cup olive oil

• 1/2 red pepper

INSTRUCTIONS for this no cook soup recipe:

This gazpacho soup recipe only takes 15 minutes to make!

Step 1: Prepare all the vegetables for blending.

• Wash all vegetables well under running water.
• Remove tops of tomatoes and cut into quarters.
• Peel the cucumber and use a spoon to scoop out the seeds.
• Remove the seeds from the pepper and cut into quarters.
• Peel off outer layer of red pepper and roughly chop half of it.

Step 2: Place all the vegetables in a blender or food processor. 

Step 3: Sprinkle the spices over the top and drizzle with olive oil.

Step 4: Process until the soup is smooth and creamy.

Blend all the ingredients in a blender until finely pureed. You may have to do it in two batches depending on the size of your blender.

Use some of the gazpacho soup ingredients as a pretty garnish for the top.

What to serve with gazpacho soup;

Traditional gazpacho is served with croutons or hot, crusty bread. 

You could easily use this gazpacho recipe as a side dish, and make a complete meal out of it. That’s what I did above, alongside some salmon. But, if you’re in a”fancy”mood, you could serve gazpacho as a first course at a more elaborate dinner! It would be very sophisticated, and would take you virtually no time at all to make! Either way it is deelish. Best of all- it tastes even better the next day, so be sure to make leftovers!

Tip: You can use the leftover 1/2 of your red bell pepper and cucumber for a pretty garnish on the top.

Gazpacho can be served as a main course or lovely appetizer.
