How to cook deliciously - Gazpacho

1 . Stage

Blend the gazpacho to preferred texture: Place all ingredients in a large bowl. Use an immersion blender or blend in batches in a blender to desired smoothness. We prefer our gazpacho somewhat chunky, so only pulse a few times in the blender.

2 . Stage

Season and chill: Adjust the seasonings to taste with more salt, pepper, sugar, or Tabasco. Place in a non-reactive container (tomatoes are acidic) to store. Chill several hours or overnight to allow the flavors to blend.
