Tips and Tricks for Gazpacho Success
- Use very sweet, ripe tomatoes and strawberries! Since none of the produce in this chilled soup is cooked you're really relaying on the natural flavors of the ingredients to bring out the best in the soup. Most of the heavy lifting is from the tomatoes and strawberries, so it's very important that the ingredients are high quality and at their peak ripeness.
- Use an ice bath to chill the gazpacho! Using an ice bath will chill the soup much faster than placing it in the refrigerator.
- Use a high powdered blender! This will ensure you get a nice, smooth gazpacho. This blender is our favorite one! It's definitely a bit of an investment, but it works incredibly well for SO many recipes and will last for years and years!
Variations for Our Strawberry and Tomato Gazpacho Recipe
- Try replacing the strawberries with fresh skinned peaches to the soup for a delicious, summer twist on our gazpacho!
- Strain the soup in a fine mesh sieve, if you want a smoother, thinner broth consistency overall.
- For a more savory gazpacho, omit the mint and add some sliced chive or green onions!
