Memorizing a few simple gazpacho recipes is essential if you’re going to survive the rest of the summer without wilting. I’ve collected all versions of this classic Spanish chilled soup, from the most traditional and authentic, to fun creative spins.

CLASSIC gazpacho recipes
If you’re looking to get started with gazpacho, a traditional recipe is the way to go. It’s dead simple, and so much more than the sum of its parts. Grab some ripe tomatoes and some crisp veggies and keep reading…
EASY TOMATO GAZPACHO RECIPE
The fun thing about gazpacho is that once you make it for the first time you can dispense with exact recipes thereafter. The basics can be combined and recombined in many different variations. The must-haves are ripe tomatoes, a good olive oil and Sherry vinegar.
- AUTHENTIC GAZPACHO ~ I love the bold red color of this simple soup. The rustic croutons add such a nice textural contrast.
- SPANISH GAZPACHO ~ This recipe is close to what you’d get served in Spain, with a smooth texture, thicken with torn pieces of bread.
FRUIT gazpacho recipes
Tomatoes are technically fruits, so it should come as no surprise that you can make a killer gazpacho with other fruit! Melon, stone fruit, berries…they’re all fair game.
APRICOT GAZPACHO
Apricots stand in for the tomatoes in this refreshing sweet recipe. Any stone fruit would work for this summery treat.
- PEACH GAZPACHO ~ this is just too pretty, and perfect for the ladies and gents who lunch.
- LAYERED FRUIT GAZPACHO ~ a super pretty take on summer fruit soup!
- WATERMELON GAZPACHO ~ the juicy cooling flesh of watermelon lends itself perfectly to gazpacho.
ROASTED gazpacho recipes
Roasting the ingredients in a gazpacho completely changes the flavor profile and takes chilled soup to a whole new level!

You simply haven’t really experienced gazpacho until you’ve tried it fire-roasted.
- SPICY ROASTED JALAPENO GAZPACHO ~ the subtle heat of jalapeños is the perfect foil to this creamy soup.
- GRILLED TOMATO-BELL PEPPER GAZPACHO ~ the warmth that comes from roasting, without the spicy heat.
WHITE gazpacho recipes
White gazpacho is one of the most elegant and authentic Spanish variations on this theme. Although they look creamy, they’re made without any dairy ~ the beautiful white color comes from almonds!
SPANISH ALMOND SOUP (AJO BLANCO)
This authentic variation on gazpacho is often garnished with halved green grapes, or cubed honeydew melon.
- HERBY WHITE GAZPACHO ~ fresh herbs give this gazpacho a whole new personality!

- WHITE GAZPACHO WITH LOBSTER ~ this elegant soup is as healthy as it is luxurious, with just 139 calories a serving!
SPIKED gazpacho recipes
I love this idea, it makes so much sense to add a kick to gazpacho, making it part soup, part cocktail. Mix your favorite gazpacho with your favorite spirit and enjoy.

HEIRLOOM gazpacho recipes
If you ask me, heirlooms make the best gazpacho. It’s like playing with the rainbow and each variety of tomato results in a different hued soup. I love to mix and match the toppings for an explosion of color.
