How to cook deliciously - Gazpacho with Avocado and Corn

1 . Stage

Pulse the tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers: Combine the tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers and scallions in the bowl of a food processor. In batches, pulse in a series of short bursts, or until the vegetables are coarsely but evenly chopped, but not finely pureed. Transfer to a large bowl.

2 . Stage

Add the remaining ingredients: Stir in the tomato juice, vinegar, salt, pepper, Tabasco, and several grindings of black pepper. Stir in the corn and diced avocado. Taste and adjust the salt, vinegar and Tabasco sauce to your liking. Refrigerate about two hours, or until cold. (See our tip about quickly cooling gazpacho in the headnotes.)

3 . Stage

Serve the soup: Ladle the soup into bowls and top with cilantro leaves and radishes. Serve with lime wedges. If the soup has thickened in the refrigerator or is not cold enough to your liking, stir in a few ice cubes.
