This is the closest receipe for gazpacho I have found to what we had in Seville Spain during our time there.

I love this recipe! I am always looking for new soup recipes and this one was right up my alley, of course I am not as cosmopolitan as some, so I ended up heating this but only enough to take the chill off. I believe that set the flavors off wonderfully. My entire office is raving about this and I have already passed on the recipe. Beautiful job!

This is a great gazpacho recipe. My mother-in-law is Spanish, and she always made this for my husband. This is the first time I have made it that he has been satisfied as to its authenticity. BUT, don't add so much water!! I didn't add any water, just some ice (in the blender) to make it cold rather than room temperature. Otherwise, the flavor will be too watered down and the consistency will be too liquidy.

To my taste, this recipe has too much water and too much bread. Some recipes call for no water at all, no oil, and no bread. Gazpacho made almost entirely from tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, and peppers is best.

Excellent recipe! And true to its originis, especially in its use of good crusty stale bread and in its omission of many ingredients that have nothing to do with the authentic recipe. I am originally from Spain and live there part of the year, so my rating is based upon native knowledge. One must add that it is impossible to create a good gazpacho using grocery store blah tomatoes. This recipe calls for the very best, juiciest, tastiest tomatoes one can find, usually from a hothouse or family farm. Thank you for including it, it jogged my memory and I will use it as soon as my tomatoes are ready to be picked.

I, too, should have read the reviews before following this recipe. I followed it closely ... and am left with a vat of pink bread mush with a slight gazpacho-like perfume. I plan to carry it for my lunch at the office this week, topping each serving off with an additional hit of wine vinegar to supply missing "zing," but I'm not sure I will be able to stomach it for five days! Very disappointing ... and such a waste of tomatoes! I have had gazpacho in Spain, and so, was not surprised to see bread as a component ... but I should have known better than to make it such a LARGE component!

Just what I was looking for - an authentic Spanish recipe. I used about 1/3 bread and no water (except to soak the bread in) as the tomatoes and the cucumber were watery enough for my taste, but this may vary from time to time during the season. After 6 hours in the fridge during a hot day it was perfect (and wonderful to be finished with preparing the evening meal before noon!).

should have read the other reviews first...i agree - what this recipe creates is nothing like what i had in andalucia this summer. there is very little tomato flavor, and unless you blend the c$%p out of it, it is a mealy bready mush. even then it was very bland and saved only by the quick thinking of a chef friend, who turned it into something very very non-gazpacho.....

I gave this a 4 because it is a true Spanish Gazpacho recipe. However, it can be improved with some more onion, garlic, and a little bit of ground comino. I also added more salt. I lived with a Spanish family for a while and that was how my "senora" made it. My consistnecy was fine and I didn't need the bread, and used only 3 cups of water. Serve it with Tortilla Espanola for a truly Spanish meal. Thanks for sharing!

Review from Spain. Only Red Bell Pepper is missed for a true Gazpacho Andaluz. Also, when all ingredients are blended and liquified, most times you don't need to add any water or bread crumbs, because the vegetables give the accurate density; water and bread are used only for change density to more liquid or more thick, otherwise they are not used.

I was very disappointed in this soup. There was very little tomato flavour(I followed the recipe faithfully), and I felt that the bread content overpowered the soup.This had a little resemblance to what I had in Spain this past February.
