Nikita on 2025-09-28 08:05:54 (5 stars): Great recipe
Emily on 2025-09-17 12:17:25 (5 stars): I used a whole small red pepper and red wine vinegar. This is fantastic!
BNZ on 2025-09-14 17:39:22 (5 stars): Absolutely incredible. I would 100% serve this at a summer dinner party. Nothing is more summer to me than a well done gazpacho, and this does not disappoint. A great way to use the bumper crop of tomatoes I have from my garden. I added some dried cubes of pane tuscano for garnish along with the other garnishes and it makes it even better. Already can’t wait to make it again!
Gary on 2025-09-14 06:28:19 (5 stars): To take it to a new level, add feta cheese chunks to the soup
Sean on 2025-09-01 18:55:13 (5 stars): This recipe got filled under my favorites., it's that good.
I made it for our Sunday night family dinner and everyone in the house raved on about it. We try and eat well and this is a soup full of great things.
Make it, you won't be disappointed I promise.
Jen on 2025-08-31 15:52:39 (5 stars): This is so good! I didn't have cilantro, used 1/2 of a green bell pepper because that's what I had, and only used about 1/4 cup olive oil. The tomatoes were fresh from my mom's garden and now I want to ask her for more to make this soup again!
Rebecca on 2025-08-25 15:50:02 (5 stars): Thank you for this recipe! I made a double batch for a summer dinner party and everyone loved it. I actually forgot to blend in the cilantro so only had it as a garnish. It tastes good without it, too. I added avocado chucks as a garnish which also tasted good. Thanks again!
Steve on 2025-08-18 19:56:35 (5 stars): Wow! This recipe is so good. I make it like a smoothie. This year, in addition to a bumper crop of tomatoes, my jalapeños grew quite large. And while they are not hot like habaneros, they gave it a nice amount of heat. I threw about 6 large ones in instead of the Fresno. After a workout, a glass of this is very rewarding
Amy on 2025-08-10 19:52:49 (5 stars): Super easy to make & very tasty. Only adjustment I made was adding 1 tbsp of sugar to cut the acidity. We will definitely make again!
