BLENDER GAZPACHO WITH CELERY, CARROT, CUCUMBER AND RED PEPPER
In a classic gazpacho all of these vegetables except the tomatoes are cut into fine dice and served as accompaniments to the puréed tomato base. In this version, I blend everything together into what is essentially a tangy, pungent vegetable smoothie. You can serve this in glasses or in bowls. I like the tarragon garnish.

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 2 batches, blend all of the ingredients except the tarragon or basil leaves 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) and chill for at least 2 hours before eating. Garnish each bowl or glass with chopped fresh tarragon or slivered basil leaves.

BLENDER GAZPACHO
The blender makes instant work of this cold Spanish soup. Gazpacho improves with age, so try to make it ahead of time whenever possible. And, although the olive oil is optional in this recipe, it adds a real dimension to the flavor and texture of the soup. Even if you leave it out of the soup, drizzle a tad on top at serving time.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, stir together the tomatoes, onion, cucumber, bell peppers, scallions, and garlic. Working in 2-cup batches, whirl the mixture in a blender until finely chopped but not pureed. Return the mixture to the bowl and stir in the olive oil, vinegar, hot pepper sauce and cumin. Add enough of the cold tomato juice to make the gazpacho soupy but not too thin. Season generously with salt and black pepper.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate the soup until very cold, at least a couple of hours or up to 2 days. Stir the gazpacho and ladle it into bowls, or pour it at the table from a wide-mouth pitcher. Garnish with croutons, herbs, scallions, or diced avocado.
