This traditional Spanish cold soup is a world-famous dish that's a breeze to prepare.

To complete this How-To you will need:

A red bell pepper
A green bell pepper
A cucumber
A red onion
4 plum tomatoes
3 garlic cloves, minced
23 oz. tomato juice
¼ c. white wine vinegar
Juice of 1 lime
¾ c. extra-virgin olive oil
½ tbsp. salt
1 tsp. pepper
French bread pieces
Fresh basil leaves for garnish
A food processor (optional)

Step 1: Chop and process

Rough-chop the peppers, cucumber, red onion, and tomatoes. Then feed the vegetables through the food processor and pulse it until the vegetables are coarsely chopped. Avoid over-processing.

Step 2: Mix and refrigerate

Transfer the vegetables to the large bowl and add the minced garlic, tomato juice, vinegar, lime juice, ¼ cup of the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well and then refrigerate for at least 3 and up to 24 hours.

Tip: The longer the gazpacho sits, the more the flavor develops, so make the soup a day in advance for best results.

Step 3: Prepare croutons

Heat the remaining olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat until it's hot but not smoking. Then add the bread and toss for 6 to 8 minutes, until it's golden. Then, with a slotted spoon, remove the croutons to a paper-towel-lined plate and season them with salt and pepper.

Step 4: Serve

Divide the gazpacho into bowls, top it with the bread, and garnish it with basil.

damm i thought it was chowder

[loopstheloop]

8th - 13thC.? The last Moorish kingdom on Spanish soil fell to Ferdinand and Isabella in 1492, the same year Colombus went to the Americas- making that the end of the 15thC. 711-1492. Please try harder. Thanks!

Thumbs up if you recognized the name Gazpacho from the tv show Chowder :)

@ys1337 cause americans are retarded

[Mirkocc14]

@rhcmlc lol true! I heard that too

[Mirkocc14]

Amazing video but the history bit is wrong. Arabs never set foot in Spain, it was the Moors who did so and the Moors, Almohad and Almoravid dynasties were all Berbers and not Arab. Do not confuse Arabs and Berbers and do not give Arabs more credit than they should.

[ys1337]

why do americans take food from other countries and fuck it all up?

[rhcmlc]

Why did she say "The Jews of one lime"?

[carolobear]

Not true recette...

[lalalaina4life]

it's like watery salsa

[TheBasileia]

Maybe this soup tastes delicious, but I'm from Spain and this is NOT gazpacho.
