Gazpacho is a Spanish cold soup and there are plenty of versions of it.  This is mine.

Gazpacho soup recipe

Ingredients 

14.5 oz.                                                               Fire roasted tomatoes (or fresh ones)
2                                                                           Pickling cucumbers, peeled
1/2                                                                        Small onion
1                                                                           Red bell pepper
1/4 cup                                                                Olive oil
1 tablespoon                                                     Fresh basil
1 tablespoon                                                     Cilantro
1 tablespoon                                                     Fresh mint
1 teaspoon                                                         Fresh sage
1/4 teaspoon                                                      Red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon                                                      Salt
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
The juice of half of a lemon



Directions 

Dump everything in the blender and blend away.  Add vegetable stock if too thick.  The protein part could be chicken cubes or tofu or cottage cheese.

I have to find a way to make it à la Scott.  That means no cucumber, no bell pepper, no onion.  It's so refreshing and would be so convenient on the boat.  Wish me luck!

Make it à la you and bon appétit! 

Update July 20, 2022 :




This time I used 4 unpeeled cucumbers, some lettuce, 1 pint of cherry tomatoes and some hummus.  Cottage cheese for protein and delicious creaminess that complements very well the heartiness and spiciness of the soup.  Use what you have on hand and stay cool!
