I think bread for thickening is used most often in the Spanish recipes, although I could be wrong. Lots of recipes when I was looking around said French bread, but I don't really know what that means because I only see French baguettes at my store. And they don't see to have much bread, just crust. :) So I think just any day-old white bread will be good for thickening.<br /><br />Kim, I didn't like gazpacho too because, like I said, it reminded me of drinking V8 or tomato sauce, but I had some amazing ones in restaurants in the Bay Area (all not red) so that inspired me to try it at home. I liked my home version, although I'm still experimenting with the seasoning. It's all per your taste. But it didn't taste raw to me with all the various ingredients giving the soup substance. And it really helps to refrigerate it and let everything gel together and thicken up. Then it's like soup. I just wish we had some hot days to really appreciate a cool gazpacho.Single Guy Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02496236420566420946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34927862.post-84653857284985539092010-08-10T08:19:50.139-07:002010-08-10T08:19:50.139-07:00I don't like gazpacho, but these photos are go...I don't like gazpacho, but these photos are gorgeous!Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00753455155857133205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34927862.post-76701300578561215802010-08-10T08:13:08.717-07:002010-08-10T08:13:08.717-07:00Wow.

I think this would make all the difference. And I'm curious about the bread--is that traditional? I've never made gazpacho.Hungry Doghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09176958081093165894noreply@blogger.com
