Ingredients

9 large vine-ripened tomatoes
2 medium cucumbers, peeled, seeded, and chopped
1 medium red onion, chopped
1 bell pepper, chopped
1/3 cup olive oil
6 tablespoons red wine vinegar, or to taste
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 to 2 jalapeno peppers, finely chopped
Salt and freshly milled black pepper
1/4 cup thinly sliced fresh basil leaves, cilantro, or parsley (optional)

Directions

Core the tomatoes and dip into boiling water for about 10 seconds to loosen the skin. Place the tomatoes in ice water to cool, then slip off their skins. Cut the tomatoes in 1/2 crosswise and squeeze out the juice and seeds into a strainer over a bowl. Reserve the juice and discard the seeds. Puree 1/2 of the tomatoes in a food processor or blender. Coarsely chop the remaining tomatoes.

Combine the pureed and chopped tomatoes in a bowl and add the reserved juice. Stir in the cucumbers, red onion, bell pepper, oil, vinegar, garlic, and jalapeno peppers. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Chill for at least 1 hour before serving. Divide gazpacho among 6 serving bowls. Sprinkle the fresh herbs over the bowls for garnish, if desired.

So refreshing!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I kept mine a little chunky, added avocado chunks, and some homemade croutons for garnish. It was delicious!

Chunky!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

If you like a chunky gazpacho, this is for you. I like something a little smoother, but the flavors blend very well and it... holds up for several days in the refrigerator. I would recommend using a little less oil with this recipe.Read more

The real deal
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

A good, basic gazpacho. I liked the chunkyness of it. If you prefer a smoother gazpacho, just puree the entire or portion of... entire mixture as a previous reviewer did. I made sure to chop the ingredients very fine and it was fine. Easy to make.Read more

loved this recipe
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I blended about half of the soup after adding everything together. I prefer gazpacho a little less chunky than this recipe... called for. Taste was excellent!Read more
