CHARLEY'S CRAB GAZPACHO

Charley's Crab Gazpacho image

NOTE TO THOSE WONDERING WHERE THE CRAB IS: Charley's Crab is a restaurant. This is not crab gazpacho but the gazpacho served at Charley's Crab restaurants. It's the best I've ever eaten. Try it, you'll love it. This is as close to the real Charley's Crab Gazpacho recipe as I'd think you can get without having the actual recipe. It tastes IDENTICAL and is quite simple. Tastes great all year as it uses canned tomatoes. Fabulous as a first course or a main dish with some grilled shrimp thrown in. Garnish with a dollop of sour cream, a few croutons and a cucumber spear. NOTE: This makes a huge recipe. EDITED TO ADD: Because Alan Leonetti is leaving retaliatory feedback on many of my recipes, I'd like to state here that CHARLEY'S CRAB is a RESTAURANT. I'd guess the crab is there. There is not supposed to be any crab in this recipe. It is exactly as the restaurant serves it and it is AWESOME, one of the most frequently ordered soups they offer.

Time 20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

12 fresh ripe tomatoes, peeled and seeded
3 -4 cloves fresh garlic (or more or less to suit taste, I find that 3 cloves are just the right amount)
1/2 cup yellow bell pepper, diced small
1/2 cup red bell pepper, diced small
1/2 cup green bell pepper, diced small (do not use just green bell pepper, as the soup will be bitter, try to mix all together)
3/4 cup green onion (white part only)
3 cups cucumbers, peeled,seeded and diced
1/2 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons salt, to taste
1/2 lb small shrimp, cooked and chilled
1/2 lb crabmeat, cooked and chilled (it is best to use fresh crab meat for this, but imitation can be used if desired)
crouton, for garnish

Steps:

In a food processor, place the garlic and tomatoes; blend until a rough-chop stage.
Dice peppers and green onions.
In a large mixing bowl, place the crushed tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, green onions, olive oil, lemon juice and salt; mix well.
(if desired you may process all of the veggies for a smoother texture, if you prefer a chunky gazpacho, then leave the veggies chopped).
Chill for 2 hours.
Ladle into small soup bowls.
Cut the shellfish into bite-size pieces, and divide equally among the bowls.
Top with croutons, and freshly ground black pepper.

Tips:

Use fresh, ripe tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will greatly impact the flavor of your gazpacho. Choose tomatoes that are deep red and have a sweet, slightly acidic flavor.
Chill your ingredients before blending: This will help to keep your gazpacho cold and refreshing. You can also chill your bowl or glasses before serving.
Use a variety of vegetables: Gazpacho is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. Try adding chopped cucumbers, bell peppers, onions, or carrots to your soup.
Don't over-blend your soup: Gazpacho should have a slightly chunky texture. If you blend it too much, it will become too smooth and lose its refreshing flavor.
Season to taste: Gazpacho is a versatile soup that can be tailored to your own taste. Add more salt, pepper, or vinegar to taste.

Conclusion:

Charley's Crab Gazpacho is a delicious and refreshing soup that is perfect for a summer lunch or dinner. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With its bright flavors and healthy ingredients, this gazpacho is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
