Best 4 Gazpacho Red Beet Soup Recipes

BEST GAZPACHO

Steps:

• Combine tomatoes, pepper, cucumber, onion and garlic in a blender or, if using a hand blender, in a deep bowl. (If necessary, work in batches.) Blend at high speed until very smooth, at least 2 minutes, pausing occasionally to scrape down the sides with a rubber spatula.
• With the motor running, add the vinegar and 2 teaspoons salt. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil. The mixture will turn bright orange or dark pink and become smooth and emulsified, like a salad dressing. If it still seems watery, drizzle in more olive oil until texture is creamy.
• Strain the mixture through a strainer or a food mill, pushing all the liquid through with a spatula or the back of a ladle. Discard the solids. Transfer to a large pitcher (preferably glass) and chill until very cold, at least 6 hours or overnight.
• Before serving, adjust the seasonings with salt and vinegar. If soup is very thick, stir in a few tablespoons ice water. Serve in glasses, over ice if desired, or in a bowl. A few drops of olive oil on top are a nice touch.

BEET GAZPACHO RECIPE

Steps:

• Wash the beets and bring them to a boil in a pot with enough water to cover them. Cook them for about 40 minutes or until they are soft (you can put a knife inside without using force)
• Let them cool for 1 hour in the refrigerator, or put them in a bowl with cold water and ice to make this process faster. Once cool, peel them and cut them into cubes. You can also cut them into cubes before boiling, this will save you some cooking time.
• While your beet is cooling, grab the other listed vegetables, wash and chop. You don't need to peel them as the processor will take care of that.
• Once all the ingredients are ready, put the vegetables, bread, oil, vinegar, and seasonings in the blender or processor, and blend for about 5 minutes until it reaches the desired consistency.
• Put your beet gazpacho in a bowl and put it in the fridge for at least 1 hour, if you don't have that much time you can put it in the freezer for 30 minutes or eat it at room temperature.

GAZPACHO

Steps:

• Roughly chop the cucumbers, bell peppers, tomatoes, and red onions into 1-inch cubes. Put each vegetable separately into a food processor fitted with a steel blade and pulse until it is coarsely chopped. Do not overprocess!
• After each vegetable is processed, combine them in a large bowl and add the garlic, tomato juice, vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well and chill before serving. The longer gazpacho sits, the more the flavors develop.

BEET AND TOMATO GAZPACHO

Steps:

• Put the onion slices in a bowl, cover with cold water and add a few drops of vinegar. Let sit for 5 minutes while you prepare the remaining ingredients. Drain and rinse with cold water. Cut in half or into smaller pieces.
• Working in two batches, blend all of the ingredients except the garnishes in a blender for 2 minutes or longer, until smooth and frothy. Transfer to a bowl or container (a metal bowl is the most efficient for chilling), thin out with more water if desired, and chill for at least 2 hours before eating. Garnish each bowl or glass with diced cucumber and slivered fresh mint leaves.
