When tomatoes are in season, gazpacho is a must! I could eat this refreshing, healthy soup every day. Gather the juiciest ripe tomatoes you can find, and your blender, and you are well on your way to making a gorgeous meal in just seconds. I love how gazpacho looks (and sounds) so special - especially when garnished with olive oil, flaky salt, croutons, and fresh herbs - but is actually so simple and quick to prepare. This is the perfect dish for entertaining, packing for lunch, or when it is just too hot to cook.
If you’re not familiar with gazpacho, it is essentially a summer tomato salad in soup form, served chilled or room temp. Gazpacho originated in Spain and Portugal, where it is often made with a bit of stale bread to thicken the soup and sherry vinegar for tartness. Gazpacho began as a humble shepherd’s food, requiring few ingredients, and only using tomatoes for freshness. In modern recipes, it’s common to see more vegetables added, such as onion, cucumber, herbs, and more. Salmorejo is another similar dish from Southern Spain, which is a bit thicker since it relies heavily on stale bread and tomatoes, usually with no other fresh vegetables.
There are so many variations and ways to prepare this soup, and this is my version. A few of the optional ingredients in my version include jalapeño, which you may want to omit if you don’t like spice, a stale piece of bread, which adds optional thickness to the soup, sherry vinegar, which is traditional but can be substituted with red wine vinegar, and ground cumin, which is a personal flavor preference.

My mom’s gazpacho was absolutely delicious, but I don’t have her recipe. She left it on the chunky side. I might try this but just pulse so it doesn’t get too smooth.
