Gazpacho Andaluz is the liquid soul of southern Spain. This ice-cold, vibrant tomato soup is blended with ripe peppers, cucumber, garlic, and a splash of sherry vinegar. Born in the sun-drenched fields of Andalusia, it's the ultimate no-cook summer dish โ refreshing, nutritious, and endlessly satisfying.
1 Ingredients
2 Instructions
Soak the bread
Tear the bread into pieces and soak in water for 10 minutes. Squeeze out excess water.
Blend the vegetables
In a blender, combine tomatoes, red pepper, cucumber, garlic, and onion. Blend on high until smooth.
Add bread and emulsify
Add the soaked bread, olive oil, sherry vinegar, salt, and cumin. Blend again until very smooth and creamy.
Strain (optional)
For a silkier texture, strain through a fine-mesh sieve. For a more rustic version, skip this step.
Chill and serve
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until very cold. Serve in bowls or glasses, garnished with diced cucumber, pepper, croutons, and a drizzle of olive oil.
Pro Tips
- Use the ripest, most flavorful tomatoes you can find โ this dish depends entirely on their quality.
- Sherry vinegar is traditional and gives gazpacho its authentic tang. Red wine vinegar is a decent substitute.
- Gazpacho keeps for up to 3 days refrigerated and actually improves overnight.
