Gazpacho

Delaney has been asking me to make some gaspacho for him to try. He thought it sounded interesting, and I’ve been looking for pre-made soup in places, or a good recipe, but not that hard. The other day while I was waiting for Kendall to get a library card, I picked up a Tomatoes & Mozzarella cookbook and flipped through it. I found this, and since it was time to go, I snapped a picture

It was simple, and looked interesting. So I made it today. While I didn’t have tri-colored tomatoes, I went with plain old red, cutting them into 6ths, or 8ths, or even 9ths at times depending on what I thought.

I also changed this slightly in that I couldn’t find sherry vinegar, so I added a little apple cider vinegar at first, and then a touch of balsamic after blending to get a little tang. I also added 3 cloves of garlic and a little less cucumber and pepper.

It’s chilling in the fridge, and we’ll try it later, with some bread or croutons.
