Gazpacho is a cold, smooth soup in this version, but other versions can be chunky.
You can use yellow, red, or green bell pepper in this recipe.

You can improve the flavor of this recipe by using authentic Spanish sherry vinegar.

Create a slight flavor change by using sweet yellow onion in place of the regular yellow onion.

Different tomatoes have different flavors. Try various tomatoes as they are in season, steering clear of the very small tomatoes like grape or cherry as they contribute too many seeds and skins.
