Notes
Gazpacho can be served room temperature or chilled. Serve in a large soup bowl or in individual chilled shot glasses. Chilling the gazpacho for at least 2 hours helps the flavors to meld. If you prefer to serve at room temperature, chill the soup, then let it sit out for another couple hours.
