What is gazpacho?

5 reasons why you want to make sweet corn gazpacho
Besides the obvious, corn, there are some other really wonderful ingredients in corn gazpacho. Here’s what you’ll need to make this corn gazpacho recipe:
Yellow tomatoes: You’ll need 2 lb of yellow tomatoes, roughly chopped. You should be able to find these at the grocery store or farmers’ market in the summer. While you can substitute red tomatoes, it will change the color. Yellow bell peppers: The bell peppers will add to the sweetness of this chilled corn gazpacho. You’ll want to seed and roughly chop the peppers since they’ll be thrown into the blender. Corn: The star of the show! You’ll need 3 ears of corn with the kernels removed from the cob. Plus, you’ll want to save some kernels to garnish the soup. White onion & garlic: Roughly chop the onion and smash the garlic before tossing it into the blender. This will add a nice zesty base flavor to the soup. Jalapeño pepper: This is optional, however, once seeded it’s a nice addition for texture, not just spiciness. Sea salt: Make sure you use good-quality salt here – no boxed salt! The larger flakes really add a nice balance of flavor to the soup. Olive oil: This is what creates the creamy texture for the gazpacho. You’ll need ½ cup of extra-virgin olive oil. Sherry vinegar: This is a controversial ingredient since the vinegar can have a strong taste. Sherry vinegar has a milder flavor than other kinds of vinegar, however, you can add this 1 tablespoon at a time to achieve the flavor that you like. The recipe was tested using ¼ cup of sherry vinegar, so go in slow and add tablespoons of sherry vinegar until it’s just right for you. Freshly squeezed lime juice: 2 tablespoons add a pop of brightness to the creamy gazpacho. Sea salt: Have some more sea salt on hand to add to your liking. Garnishes: You can choose to include some more olive oil, cilantro, corn kernels, and fresh ground black pepper to top your bowl of sweet corn gazpacho.
