CHUNKY GAZPACHO



Chunky Gazpacho image

from the book, "At Blanchard's Table"...Blanchard's is a fantastic restaurant on the island of Anguilla and it was there that I first had this wonderful gazpacho. It was so good, I purchased their cookbook so I could recreate it at home. So fresh and flavorful! I like to serve it with a dollop of sour cream...yum.

CHUNKY GAZPACHO



Chunky Gazpacho image

I know there are a lot of different Gazpacho recipes on here. My version varies from most of them because I don't puree it. I dice everything and leave it chunky. It also doesn't have any bread in it as many others do. I hope you like it! Feel free to mix up the veggies and change the quantities. I switch out the peppers when I make it for my mother since she doen't like them. This recipe makes a lot so it's great for a summer bbq.

CHUNKY GAZPACHO

A blender is optional for this soup. I take 1/2 of the soup and puree it but leave the rest 'chunky'. As written it will all be chunky. :) This recipe was taken from a 1987 Canadian Living Cookbook. I have been making it ever since and to date I haven't made a gazpacho I like better. Cooking time is chilling time.
