Gazpacho

Good fresh flavor, but perhaps a tad too strong an onion note.

I pored over my cookbooks for over a week, trying to select a recipe. There is a much bigger world of gazpacho than I had realized, and I really wanted a typical tomato-cucumber-bell pepper version. This one called for onions (specifies 2 yellow plus shallots, instead I used 1/2 a large red onion). And I used my own tomatoes.

An odd note - the recipe also called for raw eggs. I omitted the raw eggs, it wasn't clear to me how it helped the recipe, and I didn't see it in any of the other recipes I examined.

Supplementary olive oil, vinegar, salt and pepper helped to flavor this soup.

I think something was missing from this - not sure what.
