Chunky Gazpacho

Submitted by Epi Curious

"from the book, "At Blanchard's Table"...Blanchard's is a fantastic restaurant on the island of Anguilla and it was there that I first had this wonderful gazpacho. It was so good, I purchased their cookbook so I could recreate it at home. So fresh and flavorful! I like to serve it with a dollop of sour cream...yum."
