Gazpacho in DC

[LaceyB522]

OK - not so sure about the spelling, but I'm looking for the best place in or around DC to get the cold tomato based soup. Any ideas?

I like the gezpacho at Breadline. They only offer it when tomatoes are in season which i'm sure is soon.

I can't wait!

You can come over to my house...i make a killer gazpacho! :)
seriously if you really love it, it's easy to make and quite inexpensive this time of year. You chop a couple med tomatos, 1/4 cup each chopped celery, green pepper, cuke, scallions, 1 tbsp cilantro, 1 tbsp parsley, 1 tsp chives, 3 tbsp wine vinegar, 1 tbsp worcestershire, a couple cloves of chopped garlic, some S&P, a little drizzle of olive oil, 2 c of tomato juice and 1 c of V-8. What i usually do is put about half of the stuff in the food processor and pulse it and leave the rest chunky so you have a nice consistency. you mix the pureed and chunky together in a large storage bowl. If you let it marinate about a couple hours before eating it's better. that amount will last you several days.

Haven't been there a while but have had really good gazpacho at Mar del Plata in Logan Circle.

Don't laugh, but the prepared food counter at Giant used to have a consistently fabulous version of gazpacho. Lately, the situation has been very hit and miss with copious amount of sugar (!!) being added and ruining the recipe.

Jaleo has some of the loveliest I've had.

A fourth nod to Jaleo. Fantastic gazpacho, and Jose Andres has made the recipe widely available on the interwebs. It's become my go-to recipe for the bounty from our backyard garden! (hint: spend $$$ on high quality sherry vinegar for best results...)

Rumberos in Columbia Heights makes a super fresh gazpacho, it's addictive.

I liked the gazpacho at Sol de España on Rockville Pike just south of Rockville.

Also, try the White gazpacho at Jaleo, Amazing!

Jaleo's gazpacho was fantastic.
