Gazpacho Adapted from Barefoot Contessa image

A wonderful fresh gazpacho. It gets better day by day; after a week (in the frig!) it is simply outstanding. I have made this using the food processor but then add some hand-diced tomatoes for additional texture. A great summer meal.

1 English cucumber, halved but not peeled
