This looked and smelled fantastic while I was preparing it! My husband doesn't like vegetable chunks, so I pureed the entire thing. I don't recommend that. I didn't like the texture without the vegetable chunks. Also, it was an unappealing brown color because of the red of the tomatoes combined with the green of the bell pepper. It seems like a red or yellow bell pepper would give this a more attractive color. Anyway, my husband decided that the gazpacho smelled hideous and he wouldn't eat it, so it's all mine. It tasted great as a puree, but I added some chunks back in to improve the texture, and it's terrific! If I make it again, though, I'll try it as a salad without pureeing at all. UPDATE: I did make this again as a salad. It was delicious, but there was a lot of liquid in the bottom of the bowl, so I guess it does need to be partially pureed to incorporate that liquid.
