Fresh Tomato Gazpacho Recipe

Gazpacho is a great warm weather soup It combines all of the summer's best produce in one perfect bowl. This gazpacho recipe is fairly traditional and really shows off the vine-ripened goodness of tomatoes. You can make this gazpacho as mild or spicy as you like by adjusting the number of hot peppers. Feel free to use large, red, ripe tomatoes that might be a little ugly or have a few bumps and bruises. Since all the ingredients are just getting blended together, this is a perfect way to use up those veggies that aren't picture perfect. If you are buying produce at your local farmer's market, always ask if there are any reject tomatoes. They are still super tasty and work perfectly for gazpacho or tomato sauce. The nice thing about this recipe is that it doesn't include any bread, so it's gluten and dairy-free. While it may be tempting to eat it right away, the flavor of the gazpacho will be even better if you let it chill in the refrigerator for an hour before eating. The flavors will meld together and taste so good. Make it early in the morning and it will be ready for lunchtime
