Equipment

Ingredients

  • 6 large tomatoes
  • 3 pickling cukes I think they're crunchier, but you can use regular cucumbers too
  • 1 green pepper sub with red or orange or yellow pepper
  • 4 scallions
  • large handful fresh basil
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh oregano
  • 1 jalapeno or other hot pepper
  • 1 lime zested and juiced
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2 teaspoons red wine or sherry vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon vegan worcestershire sauce
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instructions

  • Prepare veggies. Set aside ½ cup small diced, for toppings. Set aside 3 cups medium diced veggies to mix into pureed soup. Everything else can be rough chopped.
  • Place remaining vegetables (keep ½ cup small dice plus 3 cups regular diced veggies off to the side) into a blender along with fresh herbs, lime juice, vinegar, worcestershire sauce, salt, chili powder and cayenne. Puree until smooth. Scrape down sides, and blend again.
  • Pour the "soup" into a large bowl or pitcher. Gently stir in the 3 cups veggie that were set aside. Taste for seasoning, adding additional cayenne pepper or lime, as needed.
  • Ladle into serving bowls or cups and sprinkle with toppings, including flakey sea salt if using.
  • Gazpacho flavors will enhance as it sits in the fridge. If you make this ahead, store toppings separately in a covered glass dish and add when serving. Refrigerated gazpacho will stay good in the fridge for 5 days.

Notes

OPTIONAL TOPPINGS: flakey sea salt (such as maldoon), cherry tomatoes quartered lengthwise, corn, scallions, small diced cucumbers, small diced green peppers, hemp seeds, fresh limes, cilantro.
