    we like our gazpacho chunky so we didn't puree it, otherwise ok. Left out olive oil...even tho healthy fat, just wasn't needed! Daughter thought needed something...put in 1tbs horseradish...perfect. - 3/6/09

    My husband, who has just started eating cold soups, and I both loved it. We added a little extra cayenne to give it a kick. - 7/22/08

    A high potassium diet is supposed to lower blood pressure. The more (from whole foods) the better. - 1/15/09

    Yum yum yum! I also added about a tablespoon of horseradish, because it turned out that I didn't have cayenne pepper at home like I thought. The horseradish was yummy! You could add all sorts of stuff to this soup! - 8/22/09

    I love gazpacho, but I also add some balsamic vinegar. Yummm. Personally, I love the taste of olive oil, and my weight loss does better when I get some healthy fat instead of going nonfat. - 10/11/09
