Oh, kitchen fails. When your counter has been floured, wiped down, and floured again and you are slowly depleting your brown sugar supply with nothing to show for it.
Sometimes, (especially when it comes to vegan baking) things (yes I’m talking about you, crumbly linzer cookies!) don’t work out. So I like to beat the complicated-baking-frustration with simple but delicious foods.
And gazpacho really doesn’t get easier! 10-minutes and you could have a couple bowls of soup ready to be devoured.
Sometimes soup can be really boring. But gazpacho is anything but- you’re not about to burn your tongue on a spoonful of this!
Lots of basil, mint, jalapeños, and lemons make this gazpacho pop, and the tomato base is a classic.
This gazpacho is best served with crusty baguette for dipping (or a gf option!) and is vegan, gluten-free, and one-bowl!
This summery gazpacho is just the trick to make all the failed shortbread disappear from memory!
Enjoy!
- 1 14-oz can tomatoes
- 1 /2 cups ice cold water
- 2 tbsp chopped coriander or cilantro
- 4-6 mint leaves, chopped
- 1 jalapeño, diced
- ¼ of a red onion, diced
- 1 clove garlic, diced
- Juice of half a lemon
- 1-2 tsp salt
- 2-3 mint leaves
- 2-3 basil leaves
- Combine gazpacho ingredients in a blender and pulse to combine until well mixed.
- Adjust salt and lemon as needed.
- Set in refrigerator and chop herbs finely for topping.
- Top each serving and enjoy.

Loving all your photos and recipes.
I have all this in my fridge! Looks like perfect comfort food x
Aw thanks so much! LMK if you make it 🙂
This gazpacho looks like the perfect comfort food! I love how thick and creamy it is, especially with the fresh herbs! Yum!
It definitely is 🙂
I’ve made obnoxious non-vegan linzers before…so I think it’s just that they’re obnoxious. 😛 But yeah, cookie fails suck. Thank goodness for vibrant soups like this to refuel and revitalize you!
Ugh well wish me luck- I’m going to give it a second shot soon!
Oh man, sorry to hear about the kitchen fails. We’ve all been there, so I know exactly what you are feeling. It stinks! But this gazpacho looks amazing. We haven’t made any gazpacho this summer, so I clearly need to get on that. Looks delicious!!
Yes! Gazpacho screams summer, get on it!
Oh girl, yes I feel you on the kitchen fails. They’re such a bummer but you know, sometimes simple and easy is the way to go! Like this gazpacho, it’s gorgeous and the flavors are fantastic!
Haha thanks!
Bummer about the kitchen fails. I think we’ve all been there and you totally have my sympathy. This gazpacho is an absolute success though, so celebrate this win!
Thank you 🙂
SO refreshing and easy, and perfect for summer, sharing it with my readers!
Thanks so much for sharing! 🙂
Whenever I throw in the towel after a recipe fail, I do the same exact thing – whip up something super refreshing and simple to level out the frustration. I love how quick this gazpacho comes together! Good luck on your next round of cookies, m’dear!
Thanks, Julia!
While vegan baking may not be forgiving, I find it hard to fail with vegan cooking with savoury meals such as this. I love the pop of the red. Perfect for summer tomatoes. 🙂
Savory vegan cooking is always so simple and delicious!
This gazpacho looks fantastic, Medha! It sounds perfect for this hot weather too, I’d love a bowl of this right now 🙂
Thank you!
Mmmm I haven’t had gazpacho in sooo long! This looks wonderful! And yes, baking fails are the worst! It always pains me especially when it’s not really edible!
Yes! Luckily my falling-apart blondies were delicious, just not composed enough for photos 🙂
Boo to recipe fails, they are certainly no fun. Love that you made this gazpacho though. It looks so refreshing and delicious!
Thanks, Kelly!
I have always been curious about making gazpacho. But if it is ready in 10 minutes, I really have no excuse NOT to make it!
Exactly!
I hear you on the complicated-baking-frustration (esp with vegan baking!) .. hooray for this 10-minute-gazpacho!!! looks absolutely delicious!
Thanks, Alice!
I’ve never made gazpacho in my life, you’ve inspired me Medha. This will happen in my kitchen very soon!
Thank you, Mike 🙂
I love this vegan gazpacho! I have a bunch of fresh tomatoes in my garden and this would be perfect with dinner!
LMK if you try!

Baking fails are the worst, especially when you have folks to impress and it’s your first/only time feeding them and you’re all like WAIT I AM TOTALLY BETTER THAN THIS GAHHHH. So I totally love this gazpacho, end of story 🙂 I think I’ll try my hand at it soon!
Oooh that’s scary- I always go with the absolute tried and true with guests or friends! Thanks 🙂
Kitchen fails are the worst! But we somehow learn from them. This is the perfect summer snack on me bowl. Love that you added mint too.
Thanks, Zainab!
Haha, I hear you 100% on the kitchen fails… been there way too many times!
I’ve actually never made gazpacho, but I’ve been wanting to try it out, your recipe sounds just perfect!
You’ve gotta make it!
Oh man, we all have those days! Glad you had some simple and delicious food to reward yourself with!

I’ve had my fair share of kitchen fails — especially baking fails! They’re the worst! Love the looks of this gazpacho!
Haha thanks!
I haven’t had gazpacho in ages! I SO need to change that! I just love how bright, vibrant, and refreshing it is! Crusty bread is a definite must for dipping 🙂 Pinned!
Thanks for the pin 🙂
Kitchen fails are the worst! I had a huge kitchen debacle this weekend, so I totally feel you! gazpacho looks amazing though!
Thanks, Michelle!
Amazingly enough I’ve never made gazpacho — that needs to change because this looks so good! I love how easy it is, too. 😃
Thanks 🙂 LMK if you try it!
Definitely know exactly how you feel about the kitchen fails. The always leave me so exhausted and yearning to order take out! Gazpacho to the rescue! This looks delicious!
This looks delicious and the photos are beautiful. However, I was surprised that there is no oil in the ingredients. I guess that makes it extra low cal.
Yup!
