Gazpacho - The Best

This is my favorite Gazpacho -- the best I have ever tasted. Don't be intimidated by the long list of ingredients. Your blender does most of the work. This recipe is from Eleanor Bradshaw's article Making the Best Gazpacho
  • 46-ounce can tomato juice (large can)
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 large tomatoes, peeled and chopped
  • 1 green pepper, chopped
  • 1 cucumber, peeled, seeded, chopped
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 2 large cloves of garlic, crushed
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1-1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon dried whole tarragon
  • 1 teaspoon dried whole basil
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Tabasco sauce, to taste (anywhere from a few to several drops, but don't use more or you'll overpower the other flavors)
Combine all ingredients in a large non-metallic container; stir well. Process in batches in an electric blender until somewhat smooth, but don't purée. Gazpacho should have texture. Chill at least 2 hours. Makes 11 to 12 cups.

Kitchen tools you'll need: Blender, Mixing Bowls, Soup Bowls
Note: It is possible to make this gazpacho even if you don't have all the ingredients on hand. It is excellent even without the tarragon and basil. I frequently make it with 1 tablespoon, each, of red wine vinegar and tarragon vinegar. Experiment and perfect it to your taste.
