QUICK CLASSIC GAZPACHO

Quick Classic Gazpacho image

For the ultimate gazpacho, you must peel, seed, dice, salt and drain really good, vine-ripened tomatoes. So what if you don't have time to fuss with fresh tomatoes? I've found the canned variety makes a fine substitute. Another advantage: Fresh tomatoes start to deteriorate as soon as the soup is refrigerated, but canned tomatoes are unaffected by the chill.

Tips:

Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes for the best flavor.
If you don't have time to peel the tomatoes, you can blanch them instead. To blanch tomatoes, score an X on the bottom of each tomato and place them in a pot of boiling water for 30 seconds. Then, transfer the tomatoes to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Once the tomatoes are cool, peel them and remove the seeds.
To make the gazpacho ahead of time, simply refrigerate it for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving.
Garnish the gazpacho with your favorite toppings, such as croutons, chopped cucumber, or a drizzle of olive oil.
