0:07
you know I'm planning kind of a lighter
0:09
menu for the girls because down here the
0:12
girls just love their vegetables so I'm
0:15
gonna make a nice cold gazpacho soup and
0:20
there's really no wrong or right for
0:22
this recipe it's kind of whatever you
0:26
I've got about 2 pounds of diced
0:28
tomatoes so I've got all my tomatoes
0:33
chopped except for one so we'll finish
0:37
chopping him up now you can take this
0:40
any way you want to in fact I probably
0:44
never made two pots of the food despacho
0:49
it's the very same and you know what
0:51
else I probably never said the word
0:54
despacho the same way toys either it's
0:58
one of those words it you know kind of
1:00
just really gets all caught up my dog
1:02
but anyway I think y'all know what I'm
1:06
all right so I'm just gonna chop this up
1:08
a little bit and you can see up here to
1:12
my right I've got one of those in bowl
1:14
blenders because I want to just have
1:18
everything chopped up maybe just half of
1:21
it a little bit finer than the rest so
1:24
it'll produce that juice so we've got
1:27
our bell peppers and I'm chopping up a
1:30
third of a cup of yellow bell pepper
1:32
just like I do with the red and the
1:35
green and this is cilantro now I'm
1:38
chopping up about a third of a cup
1:41
now I'm gonna mince up two nice fat
1:46
cloves of garlic I've got a cucumber
1:51
over here and we're gonna take it
1:54
and you can seed it or not seed it if
2:00
you don't like the seeds in your
2:02
cucumber all you have to do is just run
2:05
your spoon down the center and that'll
2:08
pull the seeds right out whether you see
2:12
it or don't see that's up to you I love
2:16
the cucumber in this soup it's just so
2:19
fresh and especially during the summer
2:23
down here because all of our vegetables
2:26
are coming in so good and so fresh since
2:32
I've seeded half of this we'll use 1/2
2:35
seeded and then the other half I'm gonna
2:39
use with the seeds in it
2:47
love cucumbers all right now let's add
2:52
all of our vegetables to our Tomatoes
3:00
look at those colors just come alive in
3:05
there and lastly I'm adding 1/2 a cup of
3:16
and now they're gonna take our blender
3:20
and we're just going to kind of blend
3:22
this up now some people like their soup
3:25
pureed I happen to like mine chunky I
3:28
love to see all the interesting
3:31
components of the soup and it's just
3:33
pretty so I'm just gonna use this
3:39
blender because I don't want to blend it
3:42
to death I just want to break it down a
3:45
little bit I think I'm getting vegetable
3:53
slung in my face now see that was just
3:58
about right I love the way that looks
4:03
alright so a little salt no pepper
4:18
a couple of tablespoons of a sherry
4:20
vinegar give it a little kick I'm gonna
4:24
add about 1/4 of a cup of olive oil
4:32
all right and here's an unusual
4:37
ingredient that I'm gonna be add but I'm
4:41
gonna throw in 1 cup of breadcrumbs and
4:47
that's the great thing about recipes and
4:50
cooking you can do them to suit your
4:53
tastes but those breadcrumbs are going
4:57
to give it some substance to it now the
5:00
last ingredient I'm gonna add is a
5:04
tomato water all you have to do is drop
5:09
you a couple of fresh tomatoes down into
5:11
your food processor puree em and then
5:17
so that's ready to go in the fridge for
5:19
about four to eight hours you want this
5:23
to be nice and chilled you know the
5:26
thing that makes this so good especially
5:29
during hot weather is have this just ice
5:42
so good I love what the cilantro does to
5:46
I'm just dipping up my soup in a bell
5:51
pepper makes a great little serving bowl
5:55
see how pretty that looks
