Gazpacho from Jamie Deen

Submitted by Jane from Ohio

"Saw this recipe on the Jamie Deen Show. We were having a Mexican/Spanish dinner and I thought I would make it. It turned out great. It tasted very similar to the Gazpacho we had in Spain years ago.It was very good and everyone liked it. I am counting chill time as cook time."
