Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds ripe tomatoes, cored and roughly chopped

Instructions

  1. Combine tomatoes, cucumber, green bell pepper, red onion, and garlic in a blender or food processor.
  2. Add olive oil, sherry vinegar, salt, and pepper.

  6. Serve cold, with your favorite garnishes.

Notes

  • For a smoother soup, you can strain it through a fine-mesh sieve after blending.
  • Gazpacho can be made a day in advance; the flavors will meld and deepen overnight.
  • Adjust the amount of vinegar and salt to your preference.
  • This soup is a great way to use up ripe summer produce.
  • Consider this a healthy option similar to what you might find with some meal planning services.
