A simple recipe for a blended chilled tomato gazpacho. Free from bread, and thus naturally gluten free this soup has a tiny kick from tabasco.
Ingredients
Gazpacho
  • 2 large beef tomatoes, diced,
  • 4 medium vine ripened tomatoes, diced
  • 220g sunglow cherry tomatoes (yellow ones)
  • 1 red onion, peeled and quartered
  • ½ large cucumber, peeled and cubed
  • 3 bell peppers, a mix of red, yellow and orange
  • Large handful of fresh coriander
  • 90mls balsamic vinegar
  • 60mls extra-virgin olive oil

To garnish:
  • 1 spring onion, finely sliced.
  • Black olives, stonned and diced
  • Coriander leaf

Instructions
  1. In a large bowl combine, tomatoes, onion, cucumber and peppers. Using an immersion blender, blitz until the ingredients are broken down and combined.
  2. Add the coriander,. Blitz again until combined, you still want to see some coriander leaf.
  3. Stir in all the liquids and seasoning till well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning, If it lacks depth of flavour another tsp+ of salt, and extra balsamic vinegar may help.
  4. Refrigerate till ready to serve, best served chilled

Notes
In my soup I used a mix of different varieties for flavour but do sub for whatever you can get your hands on
