I decided to add a little bit of <em>flair<\/em> to mine\u00a0by adding a poblano pepper (a very mild chili pepper), cilantro and garlic croutons, instead of soaked bread. It&#8217;s a fun dish to play with by adding different toppings &#8211; I chose grilled corn (because I can&#8217;t get enough\u00a0of it\u00a0in the summer), bell pepper and croutons. You could also add avocado, chopped cucumber or anything else you think might be fun. This recipe makes quite a bit of soup because I was bringing\u00a0it to an outside summer party, but it can easily be divided or even multiplied to suit your needs.\u00a0Enjoy tomato season while it lasts!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.zestoftheworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/gazpacho-ingredients.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"599\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.zestoftheworld.com\/?attachment_id=599\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.zestoftheworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/gazpacho-ingredients.jpg?fit=640%2C640&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"640,640\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"gazpacho ingredients\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.zestoftheworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/gazpacho-ingredients.jpg?fit=620%2C620&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-599 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.zestoftheworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/gazpacho-ingredients.jpg?resize=250%2C250\" alt=\"gazpacho ingredients\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.zestoftheworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/gazpacho-ingredients.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.zestoftheworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/gazpacho-ingredients.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.zestoftheworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/gazpacho-ingredients.jpg?resize=180%2C180&amp;ssl=1 180w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.zestoftheworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/gazpacho-ingredients.jpg?resize=600%2C600&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.zestoftheworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/gazpacho-ingredients.jpg?w=640&amp;ssl=1 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Yield: Makes about 10 cups<\/p>\n<p><em>Ingredients:<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>10 medium tomatoes<\/li>\n<li>1 English cucumber<\/li>\n<li>\u00bd red onion<\/li>\n<li>\u00bd white onion<\/li>\n<li>1 poblano pepper (green bell pepper, if preferred)<\/li>\n<li>\u00bd red bell pepper<\/li>\n<li>\u00bc of a bunch of cilantro<\/li>\n<li>2 celery stalks<\/li>\n<li>2 garlic cloves<\/li>\n<li>\u00bc cup croutons + more for garnish, as desired<\/li>\n<li>3 tbsp red wine vinegar<\/li>\n<li>3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil<\/li>\n<li>2-3 tsp salt<\/li>\n<li>1 tsp pepper<\/li>\n<li>\u00bd tsp cumin<\/li>\n<li>\u00bc tsp cayenne (optional)<\/li>\n<li>1 grilled corn for garnish<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Preparation:<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Roughly chop the first 9 ingredients.
