Homemade Gazpacho: A Cold Plunge Into Pure Flavor

Gazpacho Life At The Table. Gazpacho soup in a white bowl garnished with croutons, Maldon sea salt, sitting on a wooden table with tomatoes and a red and green bell pepper next to it.

Try this bold, elegant gazpacho recipe—no cooking required. Just fresh ingredients, a blender, and a whole lot of flavor.

Ingredients

Units Scale

Soup

  • 1 lb ripe Roma tomatoes, cored and roughly chopped
  • 3-inches of English cucumber, peeled and roughly chopped
  • 1 slice of sourdough bread, toasted
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
  • 1/2 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
  • 1/2 small red onion, peeled and chopped
  • 12 garlic cloves, smashed
  • 2 tablespoons Sherry vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • kosher salt to taste

Garnish

  • croutons
  • Maldon sea salt flakes

Instructions

  1. Add all the vegetables, vinegar, and bread to a high-powered blender. 
  2. Blend until smooth.
  3. With the blender running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until emulsified into the soup.
  4. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed with kosher salt.
  5. Chill and refrigerate at least 2 hours.
  6. Pour into bowls or glasses and garnish with the croutons and a few flakes of Maldon salt.

Notes

  • This makes about 2 cups which is equal to 4 1-cup servings in a bowl. But served as an appetizer of about 2 ounces each in a shot glass, this soup could easily serve 8 people.
  • I added some additional cubed cucumber to garnish my gazpacho that you can see in the photo. Allow your imagination to guide your garnish.
