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

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

Bueno la idea es buena, pero como eEspañola deré, que el gazpacho, en España se prepara más sencillo, la cebolla es solo de adorno, y no usamos limón, solo aceite de oliva extra virgen, y vinagre de vino blanco, ajo, tomate, pepino, pimiento verde, y pan, pero si se quiere quitar el pan, zanahoria - 12/18/12

Great recipe but I also don't see the point/need for the olive oil. I don't like the taste of oil to begin with, lol, but I don't see how it adds anything to the recipe other than calories and fat. Other than that, it's a great recipe. :) - 8/23/09
