At Sweet C’s, I add lots of tips in all of my recipes – because I am a home cook without any formal training, and I find I am more confident making dishes when I understand why it works, and what each ingredient means to the flavor of a recipe – my goal is for even the most beginner home cook to feel empowered in the kitchen.
I want each reader to walk away with a solid knowledge of each recipe, with all of the tips I’ve gathered from extensive testing of each recipe. I also answer questions my friends and family have asked about my recipes, to help everyone better understand the processes we use – and why!

What is Gazpacho?
Gazpacho is a cold soup that comes from Spain – specifically the hilly Andalusian region in southern Spain that borders Portugal.
Gazpacho traditionally has tomatoes, bread, olive oil, and vinegar – as well as other fresh herbs, vegetables, and spices that create a savory, fresh, and chilly soup.
It’s best eaten when you are looking for soup on a hot summer’s day – since it is an uncooked soup and naturally served cold!
What To Serve With Gazpacho
Gazpacho can be enjoyed as an appetizer or as a lighter main dish – we love it with Cajun Butter Shrimp, Lemon Garlic Baked Cod, Pan Seared Scallops with Garlic and Lemon, Cheesy Taco Stuffed Avocados, Air Fryer Tri Tip Steak, and Air Fryer Piri Piri Chicken!

Recipe FAQs
Keep your gazpacho in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, in an airtight container.
You can also freeze your gazpacho for later use.
Thaw your frozen gazpacho in the refrigerator overnight when you are ready to eat it.
If you would like more of a pureed soup or don’t like the texture of the tomato peel, you may want to peel your tomatoes by concassing them. In order to concasse a tomato, bring a pot of water, with enough water to cover the tomatoes, to a boil. Before placing the tomatoes into the water, slice an x into the tomato. You only need to leave them in for about 1-2 minutes, and the peel will start to pull away from the tomato meat. Take out the tomatoes and run under cold water or place into a bath of ice water to stop the cooking process. Then peel the skin off (it should come off very easily).

Notes
- Because this is a fresh soup, the spices go a long way. This is why I have included such small proportions for the spices in this recipe.
