Easy Gazpacho Recipe

Gazpacho is a refreshing cold soup made from fresh vegetables, perfect for hot summer days.

  • Total Time: 150 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lb (about 6) Vine tomatoes, chopped
  • 1/2 English cucumber, chopped
  • 1 Red pepper, chopped
  • 1 Shallot, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves Garlic, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) Olive oil
  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) Lemon juice
  • 1 tsp Sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp Pepper
  • 1/4 cup Fresh basil, to sprinkle

Instructions

  1. Peel the skins from the tomatoes: Fill a large bowl with ice water. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Slice a small “X” into the bottom of each tomato and drop them into the boiling water for 30 seconds. Using a slotted spoon, remove the tomatoes from the boiling water and submerge them in the ice water for 1 to 2 minutes. The skins should now easily peel away. Discard the skins and chop the tomatoes into chunks.
  2. Mix the ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the tomatoes, cucumber, red pepper, shallot, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, sea salt, and pepper. Mix well and let sit for at least 20 minutes for the flavors to meld. The longer you wait, the better the flavor.
  3. Blend the soup: Transfer the mixed ingredients to a blender. Blend on high until smooth. For best results, blitz in batches if using a standard blender.
  4. Chill the gazpacho: Once blended, chill the gazpacho in the refrigerator for at least 120 minutes to allow flavors to develop further.
  5. Serve the gazpacho: Serve in bowls, sprinkled with fresh basil for that extra layer of flavor.

Notes

Use the ripest tomatoes available for the best flavor. This dish is best served chilled.
