Steps:
- Roughly chop the cucumbers, bell peppers, tomatoes, and red onions into 1-inch cubes. Put each vegetable separately into a food processor fitted with a steel blade and pulse until it is coarsely chopped. Do not overprocess!
- After each vegetable is processed, combine them in a large bowl and add the garlic, tomato juice, vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well and chill before serving. The longer gazpacho sits, the more the flavors develop.
THE BEST GAZPACHO
Ripe tomatoes, crisp cucumber and red bell peppers come together to make a delightfully refreshing version of classic gazpacho. We added a touch of sherry vinegar for acidity, which plays nicely with sweet, ripe tomatoes. Hearty white bread adds body and creates the perfect creamy texture. Top with diced cucumber and a drizzle of olive oil for a light soup you'll want to make all summer long.

Steps:
- Place the bread cubes in a small bowl and add enough water to cover. Let soak until the bread is completely saturated, about 2 minutes. Drain and squeeze dry.
- Combine the bread, tomatoes, roughly chopped cucumber, bell pepper, garlic, 1/3 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons vinegar, coriander, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a blender. (Work in two batches if necessary.) Blend on high speed until creamy and very smooth, about 2 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh strainer into a large bowl or 8-cup liquid measuring cup. Cover and refrigerate until very cold, at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
- Season to taste with more salt and pepper and add up to 1 more tablespoon vinegar. Ladle into serving bowls, top with the finely diced cucumber and drizzle with more olive oil. Serve chilled.

Steps:
- I use my food processor for this summer hit, but you can use a blender if you add Bloody Mary Mix when chopping Tomatoes, Cucumbers and Onion.

Tips:
- Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes for the best gazpacho. Choose tomatoes that are heavy for their size and have a deep red color.
- Chill the gazpacho for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
- Garnish the gazpacho with your favorite toppings, such as croutons, diced cucumber, chopped red onion, or chopped fresh herbs.
- Serve the gazpacho with a side of bread or crackers for dipping.
- Gazpacho can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
