Ingredients

Soup:

  • 3 slices day old French bread, crusts removed
  • 2 pounds vine-ripe medium tomatoes, seeded and coarsely chopped
  • 2 small kirby cucumbers, coarsely chopped
  • 1 red or yellow bell pepper, cored, seeded, and coarsely chopped
  • 1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 2 cups tomato juice or water
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Spanish paprika
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup sherry wine vinegar
  • 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 handful fresh flat-leaf parsley, coarsely chopped
  • 1/2 lemon, juiced

Garnishes:

  • Chopped tomato
  • Chopped cucumber
  • Chopped bell pepper
  • Chopped onion
  • Chopped hard-cooked egg
  • Lemon wedges

Directions

Soak the bread in 1 cup of water for 5 minutes, and then squeeze out the excess water. Place the bread in a blender or food processor; add the tomatoes, cucumbers, bell pepper, onion, and garlic. Puree the ingredients until almost smooth, leaving a little texture. Pour the vegetable mixture into a large bowl; stir in the tomato juice, sugar, paprika, salt, pepper, vinegar, oil, parsley, and lemon juice until well combined. Refrigerate the soup for at least 2 hours until very well chilled; the flavors will develop as it sits. Season the gazpacho again with salt and pepper before serving. Serve in chilled bowls or tureen and top with desired garnishes.

    This recipe was good but not great. I followed this recipe exactly but I would suggest cutting back a bit on the olive oil and the sherry vinegar. It was a little too much for my taste and I love both of those ingredients. The amount of olive oil in particular was not necessary. Once you take it out of the fridge you will see at least a 2-3mm layer of oil on the top of the soup. Obviously after you stir it in it is fine, but I personally don't think you need that much. Also, I think you need to let it sit in the fridge for AT LEAST 4 hours before serving. Anytime before that the flavors have not blended together well and the vinegar taste is way too strong.

    I loved this recipe and as with all recipes I modified it to what I like and the availability of fresh produce in southern NJ (the Garden State has the BEST tomatoes in the country. I used roma tomatoes and scored the skins and boiled them with some sea salt and peeled the skins since I am not a fan of tomato skin. I used the salted tomato water as my water in the recipe. I replaced the parsley with cilantro and put in a half of a small chile. This was good in 4 hours and was GREAT the next day. Thanks for the inspiration Tyler, YOU ROCK !!!!!!

    i love this recipe - the fresh herbs are a fantastic addition - i added half a jalapeno and cut the paprika back and then garnished with some basil olive oil (a smart name for olive oil blended with fresh basil,,, on a previous occasion i served in wider shallow soup bowl around a small serving of lump crab and avocado salad - delicious!
