Mama's summer gazpacho
Vegetable soup
Spanish cuisine
This is the first recipe I copied into my very first recipe book. Words cannot describe my love for my mom's gazpacho. I don't know when this love took hold (as a young child I hated all vegetables and insisted on being served only buttered noodles mixed with cottage cheese (side note: you may grimace at the sound of it, but i still have a soft spot for that dish)), but at some point I fell for this chilled tomato soup. And I adore making it, too- chopping all the lovely vegetables into a fine dice- it's therapeutic. Purists may question this recipe's lack of bread, or the use of tomato juice, but I firmly believe it is the world's best gazpacho. Make it when you have a bounty of large and lovely summer heirloom tomatoes, and I bet you'll agree. Thanks mom! I love you!
