Reviews
My all time favorite! Made several different gazpacho's from TOH and tried them out on friends and family. I used this recipe on TV recently. It's easy and versatile. My kids kept eating it before I got my good photos!
this was my first try at making this (and first taste) it was pretty good. :)
I am sure that I rated this 5 stars but it only shows 4. There's no revision, apparently; so I'm stuck with it, but it's not right.
This is so good I want to drink it! My husband, who thinks he does not like cold soups, calls this "salad" instead.
