Turns out Julie Jacobson loves this recipe too and has appropriated it as her own.

Her recipe is exactly the same as Moosewood (mine doesn't have the diced tomatoes). At least I gave credit to the source.

In recent times Gazpacho, a hearty and pungent soup has gained fame throughout the world for its amazing thirst-quenching quality.
This is also described as a liquid salad in many places. Gazpacho generally has a combination of stale bread, garlic, olive oil, salt, and vinegar. This soup is creamy which replenishes everyone with the necessary salt and vitamins lost through physical exertion in hot summer days. There are various ways to prepare this soup, but it wouldn't change the benefits of this soup.

I stopped off in the market and picked up a whole bunch of veggies. We made two types of Gazpacho. Why? Because variety is the spice of life, we're AC free, some days it is too hot to cook and heat up the house and its a fairly inexpensive alternative to going out for dinner. Yes, there is also the BBQ but this is a nice cool alternative and/or addition. Besides we can always use more veggies! I've also been making various slaw type salads that hold decently and can be used as part of lunches and sides, as well as fresh pickles (cucumber, shallots, radish, carrots - some previously posted here: Forum - Pickling).
My guy decided to add the last bit of the green one to our dinner bowls creating a neato look. The rest are in separate containers in the fridge waiting...
The gist of each are as follows:
RED: garlic, purple onion, our garden's basil, a small amount of spinach, freshly ground white pepper, Worcestershire sauce, jalapeno peppers, Tabasco sauce, 2 stalks of our garden celery with leaves, sweet peppers (red, yellow, orange), tomatoes, cucumbers, lime juice, vinegar, pumpkin seed oil, salt.
GREEN: white onion, garlic, cucumbers, lime juice, a great deal of spinach, a few sprigs of English mint from our garden, basil also from our garden, vinegar, freshly ground white pepper, sweet pepper (yellow), salt.
