I thought this gazpacho was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my gazpacho turned out a bit watery. I think I might have added too much cucumber.

I loved the presentation of this gazpacho! I served it in individual bowls with a dollop of sour cream and a sprig of mint. It was a beautiful and delicious dish.

The shrimp in this gazpacho was a bit overcooked, but the overall flavor of the soup was still good.

This gazpacho was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less melon or maybe a different type of melon, like cantaloupe.
