![Can you Cook Eggs in the Microwave? [Complete Guide]](/assets/images/c1f79d1cad59f18f9b5dc31403bd0eb2.png)
I have been preparing this gazpacho for as long as I have been cooking. Really ripe tomatoes are essential to this soup. I have prepared it with both green and red bell peppers, and I usually prefer the red because the color of the finished soup is brighter, but the flavor is not much different so you can use whatever is convenient. You can also add more garlic if you like; I find a small clove provides a subtle but good taste. You can add garnishes to this soup to make it more substantial: chopped cucumber, chopped onion, or croutons.

Instructions:
Combine the tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, scallion, and garlic in a food processor or blender and process until smooth. Add the vinegar and tomato juice and continue processing until thoroughly combined with the vegetable puree. Transfer the soup to a bowl and season with salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate until thoroughly chilled. Check the seasonings before serving. Serve in chilled bowls.
