The sweet serenade of Spanish Gazpacho - a cold, velvet whisper on my tastebuds. This delicate dance of tomatoes, peppers, and cucumbers, all harmonized by olive oil and vinegar, is a true symphony of refreshing delight. I am enchanted by the simplicity of this recipe, which reminds me of a gentle Hungarian summer. Yet, I must admit that my heart remains faithful to the fiery passion of goulash. Still, this gazpacho has won my affection, and I shall adapt it to my lactose-free world, perhaps by adding a splash of non-dairy creaminess. Bravo, dear Gazpacho, you are a delightful discovery, a sonata of flavors that shall echo in my kitchen for days to come.

Eu adoro a ideia de uma sopa fria e refrescante como o gazpacho! Os ingredientes são muito saudáveis e fáceis de encontrar. No entanto, eu sentiria falta de um pouco de tempero brasileiro nessa receita, quem sabe um toque de pimenta malagueta ou coentro. Acho que eu acrescentaria esses ingredientes para dar um toque pessoal e tornar o prato mais interessante.

The Gazpacho, a harmonious blend of Spain's treasured vegetables, olive oil, and vinegar, became an odyssey of sensation, transporting me to a realm of refreshment and delight. Like a gentle breeze on a summer's day, this cold soup soothed my soul, its essence infusing my very being with the vitality of the earth. The recipe, a poetic waltz of chop, blend, and chill, unfolded with the simplicity and elegance of a spring morning. As I sipped this crimson elixir, I felt my spirit lifted, my senses revitalized, and my heart filled with the joys of plant-based indulgence. In this serene and idyllic culinary experience, I discovered a haven, a sanctuary from the turbulence of the world, where love, art, and nature intertwine in perfect harmony.

Overal its a ok soupd, maby somthing I eat on a hot day when I dont feel like eating somthing heavy like ramn.

Que delicia! I tried this Gazpacho recipe and it was muito gostoso! The combination of fresh vegetables, bread, and olive oil is simply divine. I loved that it's a refreshing cold soup, perfect for a hot summer day. The preparation was fácil e rápido, just what I like. I did not have any issues with the recipe, considering my allergy to tree nuts, it's totally safe for me to eat. My only suggestion would be to add a little bit of heat, maybe some malagueta peppers, to give it a Brazilian twist. Overall, I highly recommend this recipe to anyone looking for a light and delicious meal. Muito bem feito!

I was intrigued by this Gazpacho recipe and decided to give it a try, adapting it to my vegan preferences by omitting any non-vegan ingredients (which, in this case, was none - yay!). I loved the simplicity and freshness of this cold soup, and the fact that it's a great way to use up stale bread. The blending process can be a bit messy, so be prepared to get a bit creative with cleanup! One thing to note: I added some aquafaba to give it a bit more body, which worked beautifully. My only reason for not giving it 5 stars is that, as someone who's all about Asian-fusion, I would have loved to see some more adventurous flavor combos in this recipe. Still, it's a delightful and refreshing soup that's perfect for warm days. Highly recommended!

I must say, I was thoroughly delighted to stumble upon this refreshed take on the classic Spanish Gazpacho. As an avid traveler and lover of local specialties, I have had the pleasure of sampling various adaptations of this delightful cold soup, each with its own unique twist. The version outlined in this recipe, however, has won me over with its simplicity and nuanced balance of flavors. The combination of fresh tomatoes, crunchy cucumbers, and red bell peppers, blended with stale bread and a hint of garlic, is absolute perfection. My one suggestion for a bit of personalization would be to add some locally sourced seafood - a bit of juicy shrimp or crab could elevate this dish to unprecedented heights. Nevertheless, I greatly appreciated the refreshing zing of the olive oil and vinegar, and the fact that it wasn't overwhelmingly spicy was a major plus in my book. All in all, this recipe gets two enthusiastic thumbs up from this wandering foodie, and I would unhesitatingly recommend it to fellow travelers and seafood enthusiast alike.

I try gazpacho. It's soup, but it's cold. I not used to cold soup, I like hot soup with meat. Gazpacho have tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, and bread. It's refreshing, but not spicy. I like spicy, like Korean BBQ. I add some spicy pepper to gazpacho, it's better. But, I still think gazpacho missing something, like meat. Maybe I try add some sausage or chicken next time. Overall, gazpacho okay, but not my favorite.

I made this gazpacho recipe. It is interesting to try cold soup from Spain. The steps are easy to follow, but I had to make some adjustments. I didn't have red bell peppers so I used other peppers. The taste is good, but I miss the meat. For my lunch, I will add some cooked sausage or chicken to make it better. Maybe next time I try, I will find a way to add ramen noodles to this soup. The use of vinegar and olive oil is new for me. I will try to use these more often in my meals.

I try gazpacho. This soup cold, good for summer. I like. No dairy, so safe for me. Taste good, fresh like Icelandic river. I want to add some fermented lamb, but not now. Simple to make, take little time. I recommend.

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and it's from Spain, a country with very nice food. I like that it doesn't have nuts, so it's safe for me to eat. The steps are very clear, but sometimes I had to look up what some words mean, like 'stale bread'. I didn't know what that was, but I found out it's old bread that's not fresh anymore. I also liked that it's a cold soup, it's very good for hot days. I will make it again because my family liked it too. **Very delicious and healthy**.

!Estoy encantado! This gazpacho recipe is a **perfecto** refresher for a hot summer day. I love how it's easy to make and doesn't require any cooking, which is perfect for those days when I don't feel like standing in front of the stove. The ingredients are all very traditional and reminiscent of my abuela's cooking, but with a nice twist. I especially appreciate that it's not fried, which fits right in with my preference for healthier options. The only thing that keeps me from giving it a full 5 stars is that I think it needs a bit more **sabor**, maybe some onions or a dash of cumin to give it that extra oomph. Regardless, I would definitely make this again and share it with my friends and family. ¡Buen provecho!

I must say that I was intrigued by the idea of a cold soup, as it is not commonly found in traditional Romanian cuisine. The gazpacho recipe provided was straightforward and easy to follow, with a short preparation time which is ideal for a quick and refreshing snack. What I appreciated most about this recipe was the use of bread as a thickening agent, which added a unique texture to the dish. The flavors, however, were not particularly bold or overwhelming, and I found myself craving a stronger, more savory taste, reminiscent of the hearty soups I am accustomed to. Overall, I would recommend this recipe to those looking to try a light and refreshing summer dish, but I would suggest adding some extra spices or ingredients to give it a bit more depth. Perhaps some cured meat or a sprinkle of paprika could elevate this dish to the next level.

I try this recipe for gazpacho. It is... interesting. No meat, which is not good for me. I like meat, especially Korean BBQ. But, I try because it is easy to make and no dairy. The flavor is okay, not spicy, which I like. It is refreshing, but I need to add some gochugaru to make it better. Maybe it is good for summer, but I will not make it again. I prefer bulgogi or bibimbap, but this gazpacho is... adequate.
