Print Recipe

A simple, refreshing, and icy cold summer soup made with fresh tomatoes and just five main ingredients. Perfect for hot days, this no-cook gazpacho is quick to prepare and packed with vibrant flavors.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups (about 600g) ripe tomatoes, roughly chopped
  • 1 medium cucumber, peeled and chopped
  • 1 small red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
  • 1 large garlic clove, peeled
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Rinse the tomatoes, cucumber, and red bell pepper. Roughly chop all the vegetables into chunks about 1 to 2 inches in size. Peel the cucumber if the skin is thick or waxed.
  2. Place the chopped tomatoes, cucumber, red bell pepper, and garlic clove into a blender or food processor. Add the extra virgin olive oil and red wine vinegar.
  3. Pulse to combine, then blend continuously until smooth but still slightly textured. If the mixture is too thick, add a tablespoon or two of cold water to loosen it to your preferred consistency.
  4. Add salt and freshly ground black pepper a little at a time, tasting as you go.
  5. Transfer the gazpacho to a covered container and refrigerate for at least one hour to chill and allow flavors to meld.
  6. Before serving, stir the soup well. Optionally, drizzle a little more olive oil on top or sprinkle chopped fresh herbs like basil or parsley.

Notes

Use the ripest tomatoes possible for best flavor. Do not over-blend to keep a slightly chunky texture. Season gradually and chill well before serving for the best icy cold experience. Optionally strain through a fine mesh sieve for a smoother texture. If blender heats up, pulse in short bursts and add cold water as needed. Drizzle olive oil just before serving to keep flavor fresh.
