La Tartine Gourmande Gazpacho

Today I’m featuring a gazpacho recipe from La Tartine Gourmande one of my favorite blogs by Béa, a French expatriate living in Boston.  She is a professional photographer and her wonderful recipes will also soon become a book.  My photo is a shabby comparison so make sure to go to her sight!

I’ve tried making several gazpacho recipes and also just “winged” it a few times, but really enjoyed this recipe for a very creamy soup and the suggestions for toppings which really made the dish a meal: avocado, corn, shallots, cucumbers, some cherry tomatoes and a sprinkle of crumbled hard boiled eggs. The toppings added some nice texture and something and flavors to complement the tomatoes.

Rather than typing it out, I’m referring you to her web site:

I loved it and so did my husband, but I’m not sure all the teenage and 4-year-old dinner guests did…some tried it, some did not…they just don’t know what they’re missing.  Nothing against “this” gazpacho, they just didn’t have an interest in a cold tomato soup I guess.

Anyone else have any recipes they want to share??  I’ve had several people contact me about tomato tarts..so that might be next in line. I also chatted with two friends at the farmers’ market today who made homemade ketchup..maybe I’ll tackle that over the weekend.   

Thanks Béa.
