Dreamy, Warm Winter Gazpacho

winter gazpacho

Fresh vine ripened tomatoes are ages away and forget about finding anything resembling a fresh cucumber, but worry not. Here is a comforting warm and delicious twist on an old summer favorite using ingredients you can easily find at your grocery store in the middle of winter. Inspired by my Spanish grandfather, it is sure to have you dreaming of the lazy, dog days of summer!

    Perfect for these cold days! Faith, I used a large can of Muir Fire Roasted tomatoes and loved it. May try a few red pepper flakes in the next batch. Another great recipe for us Foodies.

      Diane,
      I’ve made it since the show and did exactly what you did, simply because I was in the mood for a little zing. We’re so happy you liked this recipe. Cheers, Faith

    I was listening to today’s Food Schmooze in the car; I happened to be on the way to the grocery store. We love gazpacho so I paid close attention. At the store I went straight to the “tomatoes” aisle and found the Muir Glen brand that Faith recommended. The vegetables are in the oven now and we can’t wait to taste this faux-summer soup tonight!

      Ellen,
      I hope it went well. Any brand of tomatoes will do, but we like the balance of sweetness and acid in Muir Glen organic, either stocked in the canned tomato aisle or in the health food section of the supermarket. once again, thanks to Alex Province for answering my challenge and coming up with this terrific recipe. Cheers, Faith
