Chunky Gazpacho

A refreshing gazpacho soup recipe with chunky fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, and onions and peppers. 

This recipe for Gazpacho was published in the Glamour.com article, “3  Delicious Gazpacho Recipes for Hot Summer Nights,” where I wrote, ” …gazpacho, a cold soup bursting with tomatoes and vegetables (it’s pretty much a delicious liquid salad; what’s better than that?!) is the ideal way to use summer tomatoes.” 

The recipe and food photography are an homage to Pedro Almodovar’s film, Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown (1988), which was my inspiration for making gazpacho for the very first time, years ago. This version is chunky even though the gazpacho in the film was smooth (and spiked with sleeping pills).
