Instructions:
Achieve your desired texture for the gazpacho: Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Use an immersion blender or blend in batches in a blender until reaching your preferred smoothness. For a slightly chunky gazpacho, pulse the blender only a few times.
Enhance and chill: Taste and adjust seasonings with salt, pepper, sugar, or Tabasco to your liking. Transfer to a non-reactive container and refrigerate for several hours or overnight to meld the flavors.
