Best Blender Gazpacho With Celery Carrot Cucumber And Red Pepper Recipes

THE BEST GAZPACHO

The Best Gazpacho image

Ripe tomatoes, crisp cucumber and red bell peppers come together to make a delightfully refreshing version of classic gazpacho. We added a touch of sherry vinegar for acidity, which plays nicely with sweet, ripe tomatoes. Hearty white bread adds body and creates the perfect creamy texture. Top with diced cucumber and a drizzle of olive oil for a light soup you'll want to make all summer long.

Ingredients

2 slices hearty white bread, crusts removed, diced (about 1 cup diced)
2 1/2 pounds vine-ripened tomatoes, cored and roughly chopped
1 English cucumber, 1/2 roughly chopped and 1/2 finely diced
1 red bell pepper, stemmed, seeded and roughly chopped
1 clove garlic, smashed
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving
2 to 3 tablespoons sherry vinegar
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

Place the bread cubes in a small bowl and add enough water to cover. Let soak until the bread is completely saturated, about 2 minutes. Drain and squeeze dry.
Combine the bread, tomatoes, roughly chopped cucumber, bell pepper, garlic, 1/3 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons vinegar, coriander, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a blender. (Work in two batches if necessary.) Blend on high speed until creamy and very smooth, about 2 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh strainer into a large bowl or 8-cup liquid measuring cup. Cover and refrigerate until very cold, at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
Season to taste with more salt and pepper and add up to 1 more tablespoon vinegar. Ladle into serving bowls, top with the finely diced cucumber and drizzle with more olive oil. Serve chilled.

BLENDER GAZPACHO

Blender Gazpacho image

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.

Ingredients

2 lbs ripe tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and coarsely chopped or 1 (28 ounce) can best-quality plum tomatoes, chopped
1 medium sweet onion, coarsely chopped (such as Vidalia or Walla Walla)
1 large cucumber, peeled and coarsely chopped
1/2 green bell pepper, coarsely chopped
1/2 red bell pepper, coarsely chopped
2 scallions, coarsely chopped
3 garlic cloves
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons sherry wine vinegar or 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 -2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2-1 cup chilled tomato juice
salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
sliced scallions or diced avocado

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.
