Instructions

1 Combine the roughly chopped heirloom tomatoes, cucumber, red bell pepper, red onion, and minced garlic in a large bowl. Let these vegetables sit for about 10-15 minutes to begin releasing their juices.
2 Transfer the vegetable mixture to a blender or food processor. Add the extra virgin olive oil and red wine vinegar, and a little cold water only if the blender needs it. Blend until the mixture is mostly smooth, but still has a little texture, which should take about 2-3 minutes.
3 Season the gazpacho with salt and black pepper to your liking. Stir well to ensure the seasonings are evenly distributed throughout the soup.
4 Pour the gazpacho into a clean container, cover it tightly, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours, to allow the flavors to meld and the soup to chill thoroughly. The longer it chills, the more the flavors will develop.
5 Before serving, give the gazpacho a good stir. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Ladle the chilled gazpacho into bowls and garnish with fresh basil leaves, if desired, for an extra burst of freshness.

Tips & Notes

Use the ripest heirloom tomatoes you can find. The gazpacho depends almost entirely on their flavor.
Toss the chopped vegetables with the salt at the start of the 10-15 minute rest in step 1. It draws out their juices and deepens the flavor.
For a silky texture, press the blended gazpacho through a sieve and discard the skins and seeds.
