If we’re going to include recipes in this mix, I feel compelled to offer this link: http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2009/06/gazpacho/ This is by far the best gazpacho recipe I’ve ever made.

I agree with Mere, Chic from Barcelona is bar far the best. Stephan Pyles and Sangria are good as well

Mere, I meant to say add chopped cucumber to pico or topping also. You can also blender the base before adding the toppers before or in lieu of briefly heating I mentioned in earlier post.

I am the gazpacho seeker – Thank you so much for all the great suggestions! I’ll start trying them tomorrow and let you know how it goes. And Rawlins – I printed your easy method to keep on hand. Thanks again!

I vote for Short Stop in Snider Plaza. While they do have the smaller containers in the case all the time, I bet if you call them they will have a larger container ready for you when you go in there.

Yes, I agree it is easy to make, but this is so quick and easy.

I’ve had the one at Rise No.1 and it is good and unusually smooth and refreshing – but not exactly what I would ever call a “soup” – more like a blended cucumber pico de gallo. I also had a completely different version at Maximo…very chunky, a little smoky and most satisfying. They put some lump crabmeat in the middle of mine the first time I had it which was an interseting surprise…

Just had a very nice nice version at Rise No.1 – smoother than I expected.

Cafe Madrid!!! It’s so good. A little smoky, a little tart. Perfection!

Lord, gazpacho is so A,B,C easy and quick to make…with or without a recipe… has a good shelf life in the fridge…and freezes well… this is not worth a ‘hunt’ like say…tres leches cupcakes.

If you get REALLY lazy, take the Rawlins plunge: dump pico, fresh or store bought ( chopped tomato, onion, garic, *parsley optional, serano and/or jalapeno peppers) de gallo into V-8 (think Tabasco and if insane a dash of Worsteshire), simmer briefly then chill, top with cilantro and an avocado wedge and chopped green onions and fresh cilantro and if feeling mad, a dollop of sour cream and sell it curbside.
