Garden Fresh Ingredients

Tomatoes – I used a mixture of vine ripe tomatoes and cherry tomatoes because I like the juiciness of the vine-ripened tomatoes and the sweetness of the cherry tomatoes.

Bread – The bread in the recipe acts as a thickener. I like to use a baguette because it has a soft fluffy inside and crispy crust.

Olive Oil – I use extra virgin olive oil because I find it has a smoother and fruitier flavor over regular olive oil.

This Recipe is Super Simple to Make

  1. Rough chop all of the ingredients and place them in a blender.

  1. Blend them until they are smooth and refrigerate for 2 hours. I put the entire blender bowl into the refrigerator and when it’s cold I simply pour it into bowls or cups.

Gazpacho FAQs

What is Gazpacho?

It is a tomato-based cold soup that is blended with other raw vegetables. It is very popular in Spain and Spanish cooking and is traditionally served in the summertime.

What does Gazpacho taste like?

I think it tastes like the garden! You can taste the freshness of each of the ingredients. It can be made very smooth or left a little bit chunky so you get small bites of the fresh vegetables.

What can I serve it with?

I recommend serving it with grilled shrimp and crusty bread. The shrimp can also be served cold on a bed of lettuce for a bright, fresh, simple summer picnic.

How long will it last in the refrigerator?

If it lasts long, it will stay fresh for 4-5 days in an airtight container. I like to put my leftovers in single-serve mason jars so they are grab-and-go for a refreshing lunch or snack.

Is gazpacho served as a soup or a drink?

Traditionally it’s served as a soup that you eat with a spoon. I actually serve it both ways depending upon the rest of the menu.

Krazy Kitchen Mom Tips

  • If the soup seems too thick once you have blended it, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. If it needs more continue to add the olive oil one tablespoon at a time.
  • This recipe is fun to experiment with. I recommend you make it exactly like this recipe the first time. After that, get creative and add some Italian spice or a dash of paprika or cumin. You can also add more garlic and jalapeños if you want to amp up those flavors.
  • I don’t recommend heating this soup. You want to maintain the freshness of all of the flavors. If you are looking for a bowl of fresh hot tomato soup, try my Roasted Tomato Soup.
