QUICK CLASSIC GAZPACHO
For the ultimate gazpacho, you must peel, seed, dice, salt and drain really good, vine-ripened tomatoes. So what if you don't have time to fuss with fresh tomatoes? I've found the canned variety makes a fine substitute. Another advantage: Fresh tomatoes start to deteriorate as soon as the soup is refrigerated, but canned tomatoes are unaffected by the chill.

QUICK GAZPACHO
Gazpacho is common fare here in the Southwest, and its variations are numerous. This one is simple, inexpensive, healthful and delicious. It works well as an appetizer, brunch dish or accompaniment to any meat entree. I prefer to make the tomato base the night before, but I've also made it early in the morning for serving with that night's supper.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use ripe, in-season tomatoes. Roma tomatoes are a great choice because they are meaty and have fewer seeds.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the vegetables by hand. Just be sure to chop them very finely so that they blend smoothly.
- You can adjust the consistency of the gazpacho by adding more or less water. If you like a thicker gazpacho, add less water. If you like a thinner gazpacho, add more water.
- Serve the gazpacho chilled. You can chill it for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator, or you can chill it overnight for a more intense flavor.
- Garnish the gazpacho with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include croutons, diced cucumbers, chopped onions, and fresh herbs.
Conclusion:
Gazpacho is a refreshing and healthy soup that is perfect for a summer meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its vibrant colors and delicious flavor, gazpacho is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
