What Is Gazpacho?

Gazpacho is a classic cold Spanish soup, perfect for sweltering summer days.

It’s traditionally made with fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion, and garlic.

confirm you use only the best, freshest ingredients for this soup.

For a California spin, top the soup with some choppedavocado, and serve it with crusty bread.

We don’t recommend freezing this soup, as fresh tomatoes tend not to freeze well.

We prefer our gazpacho somewhat chunky, so only pulse a few times in the blender.

Adjust the seasonings to taste with more salt, pepper, sugar, or Tabasco.

Place in a non-reactive container (tomatoes are acidic) to store.

Chill several hours or overnight to allow the flavors to blend.
