The secret to a great gazpacho is in how ripe your tomatoes are. In Britain out tomatoes are ripest throughout the summer months. Fortunately for us, the Andalusian dish has been used as a way of cooling off on hot days for centuries. Check out our perfect recipe for a perfect summer dish.

- 1kg of mixed tomatoes we like (vine tomatoes, cherry tomatoes and beef tomatoes)
- 1 s
panish onion - 1 small cucumber
- 1 red pepper
- Handful of basil
- 1 clove of garlic
- Extra-virgin olive oil
- Sea salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Core the tomatoes and cut them into small chunks. Add half to the blender and the other half into a serving bowl. Chop the onion and add it to the blender with the tomatoes.
- Chop the cucumber into relatively even chunks, place half of them in the blender and half in the serving bowl. Do the same with the bell pepper.
- Add the basil, garlic, a few good glugs of olive oil and vinegar. Season generously with salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Mix until the the mixture is completely smooth.
- Add the contents of the serving bowl to into the blender and mix for 10-20 seconds (depending on how smooth you like it).
- Chill the soup in the fridge for at least 2 hours. (If you’re in a rush you can blend some ice cubes into it.)
- Before serving taste the soup for flavour and season as necessary. Serve into smaller bowls, sprinkle some basil over the top and enjoy!
