Easy No-Fuss Gazpacho – The Perfect Summer Soup

Gazpacho is the perfect summer soup, using fresh seasonal ingredients with no cooking required. Some recipes blanch the peel off the tomato and others puree each vegetable individually. Neither step is necessary, in my opinion.

Traditionally it is served with croutons or toast points (cut bread into triangles, butter, and toast).

No-Fuss Gazpacho Ingredients

• 24 ounces tomato juice
  2 large tomatoes
• 1 cucumber
• 1 small onion (sweet onion or red onions are particularly good)

Directions

1. Remove blossom end of tomato and zucchini.

3. Seed the bell pepper.
4. Finely chop about 1/4 of each of the vegetables and set aside.
5. In a blender or food processor, combine remaining vegetables with 1 cup tomato juice and red peppers. Pulse until vegetables are mostly chopped. Leave it a little chunky.
