I have been making this Gazpacho forever and is one of my most requested recipes. We like ours spicy so you may want to adjust the seasonings if you want milder. This is better the next day...the cooking time reflects the chilling time

This was pretty good, although we didn't find it spicy. We decided to try it with a bit of spice so we divided it into different versions with serrano pepper, jalapeno pepper, and habanero peppers. I added a little salt just to cut the acid of the tomatoes. This was a very simple recipe that with a little tweaking for our tastes, will definitely become a summer go-to recipe! Made for the Epicurean Queens ZWT5: Spain/Portugual.

Great gazpacho! I enjoyed the hints of heat/spice. This recipe makes for a flavorful and thick gazpacho. I ended up using 3 cucumbers total (instead of the 5 listed). I finely chopped 2 of them and chunked the 3rd. I wasn't sure whether to leave the skin on or not, but since there are nutrients in the skin I left them on. I also added a little bit of salt, since I love salt in my tomato juice. Although the recipe has a long list of ingredients (all healthy!!), it is a breeze to put together. I'll be enjoying this for lunch for the next several days! ~Made for Spring 2009 Pick-A-Chef~
