Gazpacho is one of the quintessential cold soups, and that’s reason enough to put it on your menu this summer. If you’re still new to preparing this Spanish classic and feel like your recipe is missing something to be perfect, these useful tips and tricks will help you take it to new heights.
Fresh Tomatoes
The flavor of your gazpacho will be unmatched if you decided to use fresh tomatoes, but there’s a catch! After blending the raw veggies, make sure to remove seeds and big chunks of skin because they won’t do any favors to the texture of your soup.
Seasoning Bonanza
The seasonings you use can make or break your gazpacho. Salt, pepper, vinegar, and olive oil are always a safe bet, but remember you might have to make some adjustments as your soup sits because the flavors will keep developing.
Perfect Toppings
You can also use a wide range of garnishes and toppings to make your soup truly pop. It’s important to opt for ingredients that bring the best out of gazpacho, such as tomatoes, peppers, croutons, fresh herbs, sour cream, and nuts.
Let It Chill
Your gazpacho will smell and taste so good when you’re done cooking it that you’ll be tempted to eat it right away, but give it some time to chill. Let it sit in the fridge for a few hours to achieve its signature coldness.
