From The Lodge at Woodloch

By Chef Adam Mosher June 25, 2013
A few weeks ago, I was a guest at The Lodge at Woodloch. The Lodge at Woodloch has a deep commitment to fresh ingredients and simple preparation. While there, I had the pleasure of watching Chef Adam prepared this simple, tasty gazpacho. It couldn't be easier to make, or a better summer soup.

Serves 4

Ingredients:

4 Roma tomatoes
1/2 red onion
1 shallot
3 cloves of garlic
1 bell pepper
1 tbsp chili paste or 1/2 jalapeno pepper (optional)
1 seedless cucumber
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
1 1/2 quarts of tomato juice
2 tbsp honey
2 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup fresh herbs (cilantro, parlsey, scallions, basil)

Directions:

Place, tomatoes, red onion, shallot, garlic, bell pepper, and cucumber into a food processor, pulse until vegetables are finely chopped. Place vegetables in a bowl and stir in tomato juice, honey, red wine vinegar, and olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and let chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour. When ready to serve, garnish with fresh herbs.
