Creamy Andaluz Gazpacho

[monj]

I've made this twice already this summer, kept some and also gifted to friends, as DH doesn't like it. So delicious. I omit the serrano chile as I serve it with Cholula on the side so people can regulate the amount of heat they enjoy. The local farmstand has half price tomatoes that are a little past prime, or dinged up, making for perfect blending candidates. I just blend it all in the Vitamix, no straining, and serve a few finely chopped cukes on top.
This is a Kenji recipe. LMK if anyone doesn't have a subscription and I'll post the recipe.

monj, could you look at this Serious Eats version from Kenji and see if there is any difference from the ATK?

Easy Gazpacho Recipe

Super fast and easy gazpacho. The key is layering and salting the vegetables above the bread so that their exuded juices get sopped up before blending.

thanks.

PS: tomatoes are still seriously high here ($3.99-$4.99 for heritage; $2.99 from Tennessee Grainers)
