  This cold soup should be served chilled or with some ice cubes added. Garnish also with some black grapes... it's delicious. Or simply garnish with diced tomato, peppers, cucumbers, onions...

  ''I made this summer soup with the last of the toms from the greenhouse. Each of the flavours came through beautifully and it only needed the smallest bit of salt. I must confess to not putting it through a sieve so was perhaps thicker than otherwise but gazpacho in November perhaps needs a little something extra.

  This was delicious and so easy to make. I made it the night before my dinner party and left it in the fridge and all the flavours had permeated even more. Give it a go!

  Good recipe - only thing is that (in my opinion) three cloves of garlic is way too much. Adding lemon juice is also a good option.

  Some of the comments about this recipe would make me want to make it as a drink. I used to do a tomato juice starter - finely diced spring onion, yellow peeper and cucumber,, and some seasonings - leave itto infuse in the fridge for as much of the day as possible. Nowadays, though I'm not making that juice as such, I do add lime juice and a load of garlic into my seasonings.

  I had the most wonderful soup last night at a gathering. It was a tomato based pineapple Gazpacho. I was told it was from Cooking Light. Does anyone have the recipe? Thanks for the sharing / <a http://cowabungaicecream.com target=_blank" rel="follow">online ice cream </a> Rosana

  Really good and very easy. Made for a starter for a big family lunch and thoroughly impressed my visiting parents. Added a few splashes of tabasco sauce for a bit of a kick. Brilliant recipe, so refreshing.

  I have made this soup twice. The first time I detected a slight 'soapy' taste so I wondered if maybe I hadn't rinsed out one of the bowls thoroughly after washing, before using it for this dish. The second time, I made sure everything was absolutely free of any wahing up liquid residue. The taste was exactly the same as before. The only difference in the ingredients I used on both occasions was to substitute white wine vinegar for the sherry vinegar so that surely wouldn't be the cause. Could it be the garlic that gives this 'soapy' taste?

  Contrary to DJ's comment above, I added a further to cloves of garlic (I suppose it depends on the size of the cloves). I added rock salt crystals and fresh Greek basil and didn't sieiv the soup. I then sprinkled some Alfalfa in the middle as a serving garnish. Really nice.

  Couldn't get sherry vinegar at my Tesco so used cider vinegar instead. After reading other recipe suggestions, I added about a teaspoon of tomato paste for extra flavour. Also made it the day before and kept it in the fridge till serving time. The result was fantastic! My guests loved it. Can't wait to make it again...

  I'd been looking for a good gazpacho recipe for ages, and then my mum made this for lunch one day. It's so delicious. My husband can't get his head round the idea of cold soup, so I make a huge batch and then take it for my lunches, although after a couple of days the garlic is strong!!! Easy and yummy.
