Notes
Recipe tips:
This is a very easy recipe to make and to modify. Don't have red onions? Use sweet onions (or yellow onion. or any onion!). Don't care for green pepper? Use orange.
Traditional Spanish Gazpacho soup is uncooked and pureed before serving. Feel free to serve this as chunky Gazpacho like I do or puree yours in a food processor or blender. Heat it or serve cooled. When I say this recipe is easy, I meant it.
This recipe is best served the next day, after allowing the flavors to meld for 12-24 hours.
The fresh basil, chives, and cumin are delicious in this recipe but if you don't have them, dry spices are just fine.
