I'm not a big fan of gazpacho, but this recipe was actually pretty good. I might even make it again.

I was surprised at how creamy this gazpacho was. I thought it would be more watery, but it was actually quite thick and rich.

This gazpacho was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

This gazpacho was a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll use less chili peppers next time.

I wish the recipe had included more detailed instructions. I had to guess at a few things and the gazpacho didn't turn out as well as I hoped.
