This is a wonderful smooth, very creamy gazpacho from Kelsey Nixion of the Cooking Channel. This one you can sip from a glass. I have made it a few times and really enjoyed it.
This is actually one of my recipes that I entered in a recipe contest. It won a prize and was published in Country Woman Magazine. It is an adaptation of the recipe I am sharing with you in this post. I just added lots more spice, flavor and seafood. It tastes like a cross between a bloody Mary and cocktail sauce. Delicious! Don't be intimidated by the long list of ingredients.
This gazpacho is surprisingly sweet and creamy. You would think the green tomatoes would be tart, but they are not. The best way to describe this one is it is sweet and crisp. It also has a great texture, sort of crunchy like pickle relish. It would be a beautiful starter for summer meal.

I once made the mistake of making gazpacho with canned tomatoes. Yuck. Never again! I agree...has to be done when tomatoes are perfectly ripe. Looks so good and fresh, Denise. Thank you for sharing.
