What is Gazpacho?
Gazpacho is a chilled Spanish soup made with blended tomatoes, cucumber, peppers, garlic, olive oil, and vinegar. It originated in southern Spain and is known for its refreshing, nutritious qualities-perfect for hot weather!
How to Make Homemade Gazpacho in 5 Minutes
- Gather your vegetables. Raid your fridge, veggie garden, or summer CSA box for any fresh or gently wilted veggies and fruit.
- Get chopping. Chop your veggies and fruit into medium-sized chunks (peel if necessary).
- Blend, baby, blend. Toss ’em all into a high-speed blender or food processor, and gently pulse until you have gazpacho!
- Serve. Pour it into a bowl, glass, or jar, and slurp away. Best enjoyed for a picnic on the beach!
This is one of the easiest gazpacho recipes because everything goes straight into the blender—no chopping perfection required!
Tips for the Best Gazpacho
- Use ripe tomatoes for the best flavor. If dry-farmed tomatoes are in season, definitely use them. They are simply the best tomatoes ever!
- Chill for at least 1–2 hours for the best taste.
- Add extra vinegar or salt after chilling (cold dulls flavor).
- Blend longer if you prefer a smoother texture. I like mine a little chunky!
