My Dad's lady friend made this soup. It looked fantastic so I took a picture of the recipe that was sitting on the counter. I am now home from vacation and able to find the recipe online. Here is the New York Times link to what should be a fantastic summer meal: Smoothie + Gazpacho = Lunch.
But strangely, the recipe is not at that link - but go to the link though to gaze closely at the picture. You too want this Gazpacho. Then I looked closely - the recipe is at another site. Here is the link to Creamy, Garlicky Tomato Gazpacho
And a copy and paste from the New York Times is below. Enjoy!
