Bowl of vibrant red gazpacho andaluz with diced vegetable garnish and croutons

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

1

Soak the bread

Tear the bread into pieces and soak in water for 10 minutes. Squeeze out excess water.

2

Blend the vegetables

In a blender, combine tomatoes, red pepper, cucumber, garlic, and onion. Blend on high until smooth.

3

Add bread and emulsify

Add the soaked bread, olive oil, sherry vinegar, salt, and cumin. Blend again until very smooth and creamy.

4

Strain (optional)

For a silkier texture, strain through a fine-mesh sieve. For a more rustic version, skip this step.

5

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.
