The Easiest Tomato Gazpacho

0 · May 14, 2020 · Stephanie · 7 Comments

I’m so excited that tomato season has begun. Our CSA has been delivering some honkin’ size heirloom tomatoes. Even some pretty cool cherry tomatoes. And I’m content to just have them sit out on the counter because I love looking at their weird red/purple/yellow hues.

But, alas, they must be eaten. Letting fresh produce rot and go to waste is just sad, and there’s only so many salads and tomato-mayo sandwiches one can eat! And that’s where tomato gazpacho comes in to save the day!

Easy Gazpacho

Cold soup generally turns me off, but I loved this strawberry soup. And I’m an even bigger fan of foods that require nothing more than hitting the puree button. Especially when it’s hot outside and turning on the stove is a total bummer.

Cue this easy tomato gazpacho. Not only is it delicious, but the lycopene in tomatoes can also help your skin delay aging and wrinkles. And by the way, you can also use tomatoes with salt as an easy acne scrub if you have some leftover.

    Hi! Gazpacho is one of my favourite snacks, thanks for this recipe! Here in Spain, we usually add many things as a “topping”, besides “picatostes” (bread in cubes), you can add almonds, hazelnuts, or iberico ham. Delicious, healthy and doesn’t make you fat, what’s not to love? 🙂

    That looks so good Stephanie. Only another couple more weeks and I'll be able to enjoy it. We've had rain all weekend (and today) so a lot of comfort food. I'm nearly sick of the sight of soups and stews to tell you the truth! LOL

    Hope you're having a nice weekend.

    Hi! Firts congratulations for your blog, it’s amazing! Your pictures are soberb and the content it is so interesting! Im from Spain and reading the gazpacho recipe I though about writing you the salmorejo one, is almost the same as gazpacho but with bread from the say before. Here we use 2kg red tomatos, 1 green pepper, cuarter of a red one, half an onion, fi e fingers of cucumber and a garlic without the steam inside. You add the bread without the skin, and thats it! Maybe you like it more, I do! This recipe is from Andalucía, from Córdoba and is ancient.
