CHUNKY GAZPACHO
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.

Steps:
- Peel cucumber, but in half lengthwise, and scoop out seeds. Cut into bite-sized pieces and put in a 3-quart, or larger, bowl.
- Stem, seed, and cut the bell pepper into bite-sized pieces. I usually slide my knife over the inside of the pepper to remove the waxy part; add to the bowl. Peel and finely chop the onion and add it to the bowl.
- Add tomatoes, their juice, and tomato-vegetable juice.
- Rinse and drain black beans and add to the bowl. Add garlic, stir in the vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and hot pepper sauce.
- Refrigerate for 2 hours or until thoroughly chilled, serve.

- 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.

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.
