I found this thread while looking at old posts... and hey, I can give you the recipe of this lovely spanish summer soup!!!
Firstly, there are different kinds of gazpacho, but the general recipe, and my favorite one is the following:
You need very good tomatos, that's why this just works out in Summer... if they're not tasty, don't make it, it won't be good.
You need:
-2kg tomatoes (that's 4.5lbs)
-a small onion
-a cucumber
-a green pepper
-some staple bread, you'll have to soak it before blending it though
-a clove of garlic
Put all the ingredients together and blend them. Strain the soup. Use salt, olive oil and vinegar to dress it. I like it with garlic and vinegar, however some people don't add garlic so that the taste is smoother... this just depends on your taste.
Put it in the fridge, it should be served cold (personally and I must be the only one on Earth, I like it at room temperature, but that's just me
)
Gazpacho is my favorite meal in Summer, we make it everyday, in Spain we eat it all the time... it's delicious, healthy and very very refreshing!
And it looks like this...
