This gazpacho recipe is something I have “cooked” for many years and be warned, it makes a lot. So invite your friends over on a hot night (tonight!) and enjoy.
It takes very little time to make, just a few minutes chopping and stirring, and you can serve as an appetizer or main dish. Add your favorite toppings including sliced avocado, sour cream, queso fresco, creme fresh, lime wedges, or tortilla chips.

- 1 red onion
- 4 garlic cloves
