Gazpacho
- Number of Servings: 6
Ingredients
2 lbs. ripe, garden-fresh tomatoes, peeled and cored1 medium cucumber, peeled, seeded and diced1 medium bell pepper, seeded and diced2 large shallots (about 3 oz.), peeled and diceda bit of a garlic clove (optional)1-2 slices white bread, crusts removed and torn into piecessalt and pepper, to taste
Put the tomatoes into a large-ish bowl (2-3 qt.)
Add the bread pieces. (The bread will soak up some of the liquid and make a slightly thicker soup, but too much makes the texture nasty. So start with one slice, and add the second if you feel it's necessary.)
Makes about 6 cups. (Six 1-cup servings.)
Add cucumber, bell pepper, shallots, and garlic (if using). Blend with a hand-blender until smooth, or to desired texture. (If you don't have a hand-blender, use the regular blender, but you may need to do it in batches.)
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Refrigerate at least one hour for flavors to marry, or until ready to serve.
If desired, garnish with additional diced tomatoes, cukes, peppers and/or shallots.
