GOLDEN SUMMER PEACH GAZPACHO



Golden Summer Peach Gazpacho image

Because peaches and tomatoes are in season at the same time, I like to blend them into a cool, delicious soup. Leftovers keep well in the fridge-but they rarely last long enough to get there. -Julie Hession, Las Vegas, Nevada

SPICY HERBED SUMMER GAZPACHO



Spicy Herbed Summer Gazpacho image

The soup we know as gazpacho originated in Spain's southern region of Andalusia. Farm harvesters traditionally prepared their lunches in the fields by pounding garlic, stale bread, water, olive oil, and salt in a large wooden bowl, forming a sort of nourishing paste to which they added cold water. Legend maintains that Christopher Columbus took barrels of this paste on his first voyage to the New World. Discovering tomatoes, cucumbers, and bell peppers in the Andes, he added them to the mix, creating the liquid salad we still call gazpacho. From "The Florida Keys Cookbook". Prep/Cook time DOES NOT include overnight refrigeration time.

LATE SUMMER GAZPACHO WITH HATCH CHILES



Late Summer Gazpacho with Hatch Chiles image

The order in which the ingredients are pulsed does not matter; just make sure you pulse the chopped hot pepper with at least one of the other vegetables so it all incorporates nicely. Hatch peppers are available later summer, grown in New Mexico and many chefs and cooks are crazy about them. If you can't find them, use a jalapeno or another kind of chile. The fennel adds a bright anise flavor. You can pulse the vegetables coarsely, or until they are pretty finely ground, and you can add more or less tomato juice as you please--gazpacho is a very personal balance between flavor and texture.

Provided by Katie Workman

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h30m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 shallots, roughly chopped
1 red onion, roughly chopped
1 large seedless cucumber, cut into chunks
1 medium bulb fennel, trimmed, cored and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 mild Hatch pepper or jalapeno, stemmed, seeded and chopped
8 large plum tomatoes, cored, seeded and cut into 1-inch pieces
2 thin slices slightly dry white bread, crusts trimmed, ripped into chunks
3 cups tomato or vegetable juice (such as V8)
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (break out the good stuff for this recipe), plus extra for drizzling
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
Kosher or coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 zucchini, diced small
1 red bell pepper, cored, seeded and diced small
Diced avocado and lime wedges, for serving, optional

Steps:

  • In the bowl of a food processor or in a blender, combine the shallots with the onion and pulse until finely chopped; do NOT puree! Turn into a large bowl. Place the cucumber, fennel and hot pepper in the food processor and do the same, then add them to the onion mixture. Then add half of the tomatoes with half of the bread chunks, pulse and turn them into the bowl as well. Finally, pulse the rest of the tomatoes with the remaining bread, add them to the lot and stir to mix.
  • Scoop 1 cup of the vegetable mixture back into the food processor, then add the tomato juice, olive oil and vinegar and season with salt and pepper. Puree the mixture, then add it to the bowl along with the diced zucchini and bell pepper; stir to mix. Check the seasonings.
  • Chill the soup for at least 3 hours and up to 2 days (the longer you let it sit in the fridge, the more the flavors meld) and serve quite cold. Stir well before serving, adjust the seasonings as needed and pass the diced avocado and lime wedges on the side if desired. You may also want to give the portions a final drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil.
