Some time back in July I vowed not to turn on the oven EVER. It was okay to cook on the stove top, but did not bake, broil, or baste a single thing which might add to the furnace that was our apartment. For a visual demonstration, please refer to Dog Days of Summer.
But I digress....
Back to gazpacho! It was one of those so-hot-your-bones-are-sweating days in Korea. I had a gazpacho recipe I found in a great article, aptly named "No Cook Summer Meals." The colors were so pretty, I had to photograph them. (Note: I wish I had one of those fancy cameras that takes professional photos that look like you know what you're doing, but really all you are doing is pointing and clicking....) Here are a few photos to make you crave this amazing cold soup, and make me wish it was summer again.
They are not exactly organic veggies, but beggars couldn't be choosy in the Commissary.

All you do is chop, then puree, all of the veggies, then add cilantro. My kitchen was a mess, but I like the "cooked in" look.

There you have it! Negra Modela is optional, but highly recommended.

In conclusion:
Gazpacho is healthy, easy, and environmentally friendly (no stove, releasing energy, just a quick blend). If you like V8, you'll like Gazpacho.
P.S. I love to say Gazpacho. And if you make it, you will love to say it too. It sounds very impressive.
