Classic gazpacho
Ingredients:
2 1/4 pounds (1 kg) tomatoes
1 cucumber
1 red pepper, seeded and chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
Juice of 1 lemon and 1 lime
2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
Sea salt and ground black pepper (optional)
1 ripe avocado
1/4 red onion
Directions:
Peel cucumber, then cut it in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds with a table or teaspoon. Chop remaining cucumber flesh into small, bite-size pieces.
Put tomatoes, cucumber (save 2-3 tablespoons of cucumber for avocado salsa), garlic, red pepper, olive oil, and about 75% of lemon and lime juice into a food processor and "pulse" blend until well combined but still chunky. Add 1-2 cups of water before or during blending until gazpacho reaches desired consistency. Add sea salt and black pepper, to taste. Keep in refrigerator until ready to serve.
Just before serving, cut avocado in half, remove pit, scoop flesh out, and chop into small pieces. Combine avocado pieces with remaining cucumber pieces, chopped red onion, and remaining lemon and lime juice. Mix gently with a spoon to coat avocado with citrus juices to prevent browning.
To serve, ladle soup into bowls and top with avocado salsa.
Optional: add a few croutons for an occasional crunch.

mango gazpacho soup with shrimp and avocado
Without the shrimp, it's vegetarian/vegan friendly. Serves 2; can be doubled, tripled or more.
2 cups fruit-and-tomato salsa
1/2 cup water
1 slice bread (anything you have on hand; I use whole wheat or country white), torn into pieces
1 clove garlic, peeled and smashed
1 tsp balsamic or red wine vinegar
Fresh black pepper, to taste
6 large uncooked frozen shrimp in their shells, whatever size you like (do not defrost)
1 avocado, peeled and diced
In a blender (or in a large bowl, with an immersion blender), puree the salsa with 1/2 cup of water until smooth. Add the bread and garlic, and blend until smooth. Taste, then add 1 teaspoon of balsamic or red wine vinegar, or more as needed, to balance the sweetness of the salsa. Season with fresh black pepper. Pour soup into a serving bowl.
[To make ahead, chill the soup base in a container in the refrigerator, and add the shrimp and avocado right before serving.]
In a small sauce pan, place the frozen shrimp and 2 inches of water. Set on medium-high heat. When the shrimp turn pick and are just curled (this should take 2 minutes or so, not much more), remove from heat, drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking. Peel the shrimp and add to the soup.
Peel and dice the avocado, and sprinkle over the soup just before serving.

gazpacho sevilla
time: 60 minutes, if you are slow like me
yield: 5 cups, or 1¼ liters
special equipment: food processor and/or blender
4 slices (7 ounces or 200 grams) of stale Nature’s Pride Country White or any other white bread, crusts removed
2–3 pounds tomatoes — I used bumpy, blemishy heirloom tomatoes that I have to cut away lots of, so I used 3 pounds
2 small cloves garlic or 1 large clove, peeled
½ small red or yellow onion
½ of a medium cucumber, peeled
1 small green bell pepper
½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons champagne vinegar — sherry vinegar is often the type called for, but this works fine
salt to taste
Note: You’ll be making half of the recipe at a time. The food processor won’t hold everything at once, if yours is a normal-sized food processor.
First, put on a pot of water to boil. You’ll be slipping the tomatoes in there to loosen their skins.
While waiting for the water to boil, tear the stale bread into small pieces and put them into a bowl. Fill with water and let soak.
Prepare the vegetables. Peel the garlic. Peel the onion and cut it into quarters. Peel the cucumber half and cut into chunks. Core and peel — yep, peel — the green pepper. It’s pretty easy to just hold it in your hand and peel; seems easier than an apple. If you’re sure your food processor and blender can pulverize the skin, skip peeling. Toss 1 clove of garlic, half the cucumber, and half the green pepper into the food processor’s bowl.
Once the water is boiling, drop the tomatoes in for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Remove the tomatoes and plunge into cold water. The peels will slip right off. Remove tomato peels, then core and seed the tomatoes. Add half the tomatoes to the food processor. Add half of the soaked bread, squeezing lightly before putting it in.
Whirl it all together until it appears smooth. Add ¼ cup of the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of the vinegar. Process until all mixed. Transfer to a blender. Make the second half of the gazpacho by putting the rest of the seeded tomatoes, cucumber, onion, garlic (if using), green pepper and bread into the food processor. Mix, then add the remaining ¼ cup olive oil and 1 tablespoon vinegar. Taste and adjust vegetables/seasoning if desired.
Transfer the second half of the gazpacho to the blender. Whirl together until velvety smooth. Add salt to taste. Serve chilled. Garnish with finely diced cucumber; green, red, and yellow bell pepper; and quartered or halved cherry or grape tomatoes. Serve with crusty bread and a quality olive oil.

Easy Gazpacho Recipe
Simple Gazpacho Recipe
Ingredients:
* 3 ripe vine tomatoes
* 1 small cucumber
* 1 small yellow onion
* 1 sweet green bell pepper
* 3 cups vegetable juice (try using V-8 or some other commercial brand)
* one fourth cup red wine vinegar
* one third cup extra virgin olive oil
* dash of chipotle-flavored Tabasco (or some other brand) sauce
* salt and pepper to taste
Prep
1. Quarter the tomatoes, being careful to cut out the bitter tasting core. Peel the cucumber and cut it into small pieces (each about one inch thick). Peel and chop the onion, cutting it into small pieces. Slice the green bell pepper, avoid using the seeds, core, top, and bottom of the pepper.
2. Place all of the chopped ingredients into a strong blender (use a Vita-Mix if you have one). Next, add the vegetable juice, olive oil, and red wine vinegar. Finally, shake in the Tabasco sauce to taste (more if you want a spicier kick) and add pinches of salt and pepper to your liking.
3. Run the blender on its highest speed for about two minutes, until all the gazpacho is completely liquid. Pour into a deep plastic serving bowl, cover and store in the refrigerator. Leave it in the refrigerator at least 6 hours, preferably over night to allow the soup to season. Add more salt, pepper or Tabasco to suit your taste.
