THE BEST GAZPACHO
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.

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.

LIMA BEAN GAZPACHO
_Gazpacho de Habas_ This gazpacho has a haunting flavor - barely identifiable as lima beans - and is also excellent when you substitute pine nuts for the limas, as the chef at El Churrasco, in Córdoba, often does. The addition of an egg - not at all unusual in white gazpachos - gives this soup a creamier, richer taste. It is best served in small portions.

Steps:
- Cover lima beans with water by 1 inch in a saucepan and bring just to a boil (if using fresh limas, boil 5 minutes). Reserve 2/3 cup cooking water, then drain in a sieve and rinse under cold water to stop cooking.
- Soak bread in 1/2 cup water 1 minute, then squeeze bread dry, discarding soaking water.
- Mash garlic to a paste with salt using a mortar and pestle (or mince and mash with a large knife). Blend garlic paste, bread, and lima beans in a food processor until beans are very finely chopped. Blend in egg and 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons vinegar, then add oil in a slow stream with motor running, blending until thick and smooth. Gradually add reserved cooking water and ice water with motor still running, blending until as smooth as possible, about 1 minute.
- Force gazpacho through sieve into a bowl, pressing firmly on solids. Discard solids.
- Transfer to a glass container and chill, covered, until cold, about 3 hours. Season with salt and vinegar before serving.
