The BEST gazpacho recipe, made with seasonal summer ingredients — ripe tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, onion, garlic, plus the perfect balance of seasonings. Authentic Gazpacho Recipe Gimme Some Oven: Everything I’ve learned living in Spain about how to make the BEST authentic, delicious, tomato gazpacho recipe — in just 15 minutes! Fresh tomato season has finally returned again, which means that it’s time to start making allllll the gazpacho. I’ve been a fan of this refreshing, chilled, Spanish tomato soup for years.
But ever since we moved to Barcelona, we have become next-level obsessed with it in the summertime, especially after having had the chance to spend time in Andalucía, the region where gazpacho originated. Down in that part of the country, gazpacho is available just about everywhere you turn — from restaurants, to bars, to coffee shops, to every little supermercado that you pass by. That said, if you have the chance to visit Spain, you will find that gazpacho here varies slightly from region to region. And of course, there are a million non-traditional ingredients and twists that modern cooks love to try too. But that said, Andaluz-style tomato gazpacho is probably the version that comes to mind when most people think of this blended soup.
Spanish Gazpacho Ingredients: Gazpacho is the quintessential summer soup because all of the fresh ingredients are deliciously in season this time of year, and there’s no need to heat up your stove or oven! Just prep your ingredients on a cutting board. Then your blender or food processor will take it from there. But really, any ripe, juicy, fresh tomatoes will do. Cucumber: 6-inch Persian or Kirby cucumbers are most often used in Spain, peeled and seeded.
But I usually just toss in half of an English cucumber instead. Green bell pepper: Some of my Spanish friends are firm believers that green bell peppers, specifically, are a must for authentic Spanish gazpacho. But I’d say that any color of bell pepper you have on hand will do. Bread: Leftover white bread is the key to the texture of authentic gazpacho, helping to thicken it slightly and round out the flavors. Our friends here taught us to discard the crusts for optimal texture. Red onion: Just half of a small red onion, peeled. Garlic: I use two small garlic cloves, or one large clove.
