Method
Follow the steps from top to bottom while you cook.
- 1
Wash and dry the vegetables. Peel the tomatoes if you want an extra-smooth gazpacho, then chop them roughly.
- 2
Seed the pepper and cut it into smaller pieces. Peel the garlic, split it lengthwise, and remove the germ. Peel the onion and cut it into wedges.
- 3
Peel the cucumber and cut it in half. Reserve one half for topping if you like and put the rest in a blender with the tomatoes, pepper, garlic, and onion.
- 4
Blend on low speed until the vegetables are broken down, then on high speed until the soup is completely smooth.
- 5
Add the salt and sherry vinegar. Keep the blender running on low and slowly pour in the olive oil so the soup emulsifies.
- 6
Taste and adjust. Thin with a little ice-cold water if needed, or blend in a few pieces of bread if you want a fuller texture.
- 7
Strain if you want it especially smooth, then chill for at least 30 minutes. Serve very cold with a drizzle of olive oil and any toppings you like.
