Ingredients

1/4 cup finely minced hulled strawberries
1 bunch chives, finely minced
1/4 cup finely minced red bell pepper
1/4 cup finely minced, peeled, seeded English cucumber
2 tablespoons almond oil
Lightly toasted Marcona almonds, halved lengthwise, for garnish
Sprigs fresh chervil, for garnish
2 pounds strawberries, hulled and lightly crushed
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
1 (5-ounce) English cucumber, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
1/2 clove garlic, crushed
1/2 cup fresh tarragon leaves
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

Make the gazpacho: In a large bowl, mix together strawberries, onion, bell pepper, cucumber, garlic, tarragon, vinegar, and olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Using your hands, gently crush mixture. Cover with plastic wrap and transfer to refrigerator. Let chill overnight.
Transfer strawberry mixture to the jar of a blender; blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. If mixture seems too thick, add a little water to thin out. Transfer to refrigerator to chill.
Make the garnish: Place strawberries, chives, bell pepper, cucumber, and almond oil in a medium bowl; gently toss to combine.
Divide garnish evenly between six bowls; top with almonds. Pour over chilled soup and garnish with chervil; serve immediately.
